Description
"As the frontier passes, the nation waxes stronger and more unified, and the future is strengthened to deal with the problems that vex the present."
So wrote Ralph D. Paine a century ago, as homesteaders flocked to North Dakota, cowboys mourned the closing of the open range, loggers toppled the great trees of the Pacific Northwest, the electric trolley hurried people from Los Angeles to the countryside, and grizzled prospectors struck gold in Nevada. It was a time of limitless optimism, when it seemed that America would never stop growing. Paine's brilliant reporting introduced this new and growing country to the settled East.
