"Look at the map; westward to the Pacific from Chicago stretch the lines of the Great Northern Railway system through the newest country in the world; through new cities, new fields and farms and through forests only beginning to fall before the steady westward march of population. But the way it takes across the continent is old, and the traveler along this route journeys into a past rich with memories of adventure and heroic achievement." - p.[3].
