Content: Printed on border: "Painted for Scribner's magazine by N. C. Wyeth." "In 1802 Jefferson predicted that the Mississippi valley 'will ere long yield more that half of our inhabitants.' Two decades later the West contained one-fourth of the inhabitants of the Union. By 1825 the area of settlement had reached the Mississippi, by 1850 the Missouri, and by 1890 had joined the older settlements of the Pacific coast." "The sixth of twelve American historical frontispieces."
