Foremost in this race across the continent, voluntary exiles from civilization, fearless, indomitable, the new race looks back with a sort of terror at the awful spaces of plain and mountain which separate them from the eastern home ; but the whole vast area is soon to be bound together and made one, held in the in- separable bonds of a federated statehood, sealed by the blood of the whole Union, including that of men who came from the Pacific slope — the awful price of national union — wliile ...the great trans- continental railroads, that traverse the prairies and cross the mountains, prove that the United States has mastered its domain at last, and clasped it together with bauds of steel from ocean to ocean. This great work accomplished, each citizen becomes intent upon his private task, unconscious of the changes which time and toil have wrought ; but, still farther westward, following the track of the sinking sun far out into the Pacific, Americans continue to wander, building their homes where eternal summer smiles upon the islands that float between the ocean and the stars.
