beside his fag-greds ox team, en-
veloped _ln.a';cloud of dust, sawever the vision < of a paradise
which he could purchase- with -ids'future gold. \u25a0
'So ', on*lie pushed across
the wide plains' and, over the high.
Sierra* to California; the. fabled, landof promise. Inall Lis wlldeet- dreams'of wealth lie could not know^that thisfurthermost strip ,x>t., land - in;',another .half century
'wouia produce all the
luxuries he 'had -'.left -behind..He did Ifnow that he hlrascll^ *wo'jld
become a militant factor in this great
consummation. >'As on lie Journeyed, his
boul reached out and up ,aad he couldccc over tlie rim of*Puritanical preju-
dice the V&reat, wide, beautiful, won-derful world."
