Jul 22, 2018 at 4:27 comment added Fan Zheng At least in the 1 dimensional case one can put a Riemannian metric on any smooth $\mathbb R^1$ and then the exponential map from a given point defines a diffeomorphism (or better, isometry) from the standard $\mathbb R^1$ to the smooth $\mathbb R^1$.

May 17, 2010 at 16:59 comment added j.c. This question basically duplicates part of this one mathoverflow.net/questions/16035/… and in particular Michael Hoffman's answer to that question ought to be sufficient
May 17, 2010 at 13:01 comment added Akela @Sam Nead: I looked in Warner's book, Spivak(in which the $1$-dim case is an exercise, and I googled and wikipedia-ed it.).
May 17, 2010 at 8:49 comment added Lennart Meier Thurston's Geometry and Topology of 3-manifolds I writes something about this in chapters 3.9 and 3.10, though I haven't gone through this.
