Abstract

The Great Plains, in 1840 appeared to those living in the Eastern part of the country.as a forbidden land which man was never to occupy. This land was barren except for the roaming Indian tribes, a few trappers and hardy frontiersmen who moved West. In log homes near Santa Fe some of the braver families had settled; a few forts had been constructed for trade with the Indian and for protection. Other than the early settlers mentioned, none ventured beyond the Missouri river, and the Great Plains were barren, wind-swept lands, later to be conquered and settled.
