Western Fowls and the Westward Migration Debate
A reflective piece argues the West will attract emigrants from aging eastern towns as manufacturing and paper towns shift westward.

It notes current prices and speculative hopes while stressing the broader national trend. It also references a Jamerson plan and a Jefferson letter fragment, highlighting social mobility and future western growth.
