Excerpt from Sheldon Jackson: Pathfinder and Prospector of the Missionary Vanguard in the Rocky Mountains and Alaska During the half-century which preceded this period, the United States, by purchase, by conquest and by diplomacy, had acquired a magnificent domain of virgin territory, which extended from the Mississippi and the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean and the Shores Of Puget Sound. Into this New West, then an unknown and almost nu inhabited land, - a land Of mystery and desert solitudes and deadly perils - a few resolute settlers had gone, fol lowing the trail of the hunters and trappers, in the stir ring days of the forties. Up to the middle of the cen tury, however, there were very few, even of the most ad venturous of these forerunners of civilization, who had any adequate realization of the vast extent and boundless possibilities of this princely heritage. The discovery of gold on the Pacific coast in 1848 was a divinely ordained event which directed the attention of the whole nation to the Far West, and suggested to the men of action and intelligence, whose faces were stead fastly set towards it, the possibility of an overland route to the goal Of their ambition on the Pacific slope.
