THEgolfl hunter of '49, walking

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."
