## Summary

The vast region of country lying between the Missouri River on the east and the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the west, an area covering nearly two-fifths of the surface of the United States of America, was until recent years considered an unproductive waste, suited only to occupancy by wild beasts of prey, the bison and the Indian. In the “days of ’49,” when an almost unbroken line of wagons stretched across the plains, and for a decade following, it was supposed to be forever set apart as the summer grazing grounds of nature’s untamed herds; to be the home of man--never.
