Preface Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country. --Horace Greeley or most of our early history the U.S. had clung to the Atlantic Coast. Yet F the United States exploded from a population of just fewer than 2 million in 1770 to 38.5 million in 1870. The Battle of Fallen Timbers in western Ohio (1794) removed the last vestiges of Indian opposition to westward immigration. The Louisiana Purchase (1803), followed by the early explorers such as Lewis, Clark, Pike, and Long, opened America’s eyes to the possibilities west of the Appalachian range. President Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act of 1830 finally pushed the eastern tribes west of the Mississippi, and open the door to our western potential. We would cling to the Atlantic no longer.
