The Western World Picturesque Sketches of Nature and Natural History in North and South America Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Western World" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a non-fiction work written in the late 19th century.

Kingston's aim is to present these topics in an accessible manner for family readers rather than as a formal scientific text.

Kingston discusses various features of the continent, such as its mountains, rivers, and climate, while also introducing the flora and fauna that characterize the region. The prose is rich with detail, giving readers a sense of the landscape and the creatures that inhabit it, as well as the indigenous peoples who have thrived in these environments. This blend of natural observation and cultural commentary invites readers to appreciate the complexity and beauty of the Western Hemisphere from a historical perspective.
