Westward Progress and the Pioneer's Rise
A lyrical reminiscence traces American westward expansion from the Sun’s rising to the Genesee era. It recalls the East awakening as the West advances, picturing wilderness, routes, and the spread of homesteads, farms, and new homes across great plains and rivers. The piece contrasts early peril with the march of settlement.
