Thus all the rivals in the great contest for the trade of the Westspeedily reached their goal, New York with the Erie and the New YorkCentral, and Pennsylvania and Maryland with the Pennsylvania and theBaltimore and Ohio. But what of this West for whose commerce the greatstruggle was being waged? When the railheads of these eager Atlanticpromoters were laid down at Buffalo on Lake Erie and at Pittsburgh onthe Ohio they looked out on a new world. The centaurs of the Westernrivers were no less th...ings of the far past than the tinkling bells borneby the ancient ponies of the pack-horse trade. The sons of this newWest had their eyes riveted on the commerce of the Great Lakes and theMississippi Valley. With road, canal, steamboat, and railway, they wererenewing the struggle of their fathers but for prizes greater than theirfathers ever knew.
