The famous editor Horace Greeley, who urged young men to go west, makes the overland journey himself from New York to San Francisco in 1859. His shrewd, opinionated dispatches capture the plains, the Mormons, and a nation stretching toward the Pacific. A classic travel record of pre-railroad America.
