The Hempstead Plains: A Natural Prairie on Long Island
Botanist Roland M. Harper describes the Hempstead Plains of New York, which he characterizes as a “geographical curiosity.” Harper discusses the relatively treeless area’s location, as well as the species that are present there, and theories for why this type of landscape might be present there.
This copy of Harper’s pamphlet is noted as having been sent to with the complements of the author.
