Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Central Gold Region: The Grain, Pastoral and Gold Regions of North America, With Some New Views of Its Physical Geography; And Observations on the Pacific Railroad Everybody is acquainted with the history of the American people. Their commonwealth, commenced at first by a few republican families voluntarily exiled from the old world, is now, at the end of two and a half centuries, a republican empire of established continental dimensions of policy. Restricted heretofore in its development; to so much of our continent as belongs to the Atlantic, a point of progress is reached, whence our energies, overflowing towards the west, expand to embrace the regions of the Pacific Ocean, and establish direct, and familiar relations with Asia. This movement, long in preparation, now engages so large a force, that its advance daily acquires volume and celerity. Federal legislation, to progress pari passu with the people, is demanded upon a basis to give effect to the great central movement resulting from their energies. A liberal understanding of the mission of our people, counsels a genial expansion of the federal system to the grandest dimensions which their energies may reach. I have condensed into a small volume, the memoranda and reflections suggested by a residence of twenty years in the wilderness, and in the midst of the pioneer people who occupy the foreground of progress, and clear open the track of empire.
