Millions of men are all marching together toward the same point on the horizon; their languages, religions, and mores are different, but they have one common aim. They have been told that fortune is to be found somewhere toward the west, and they hasten to seek it.

Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

The immigrants who first reached a new region took up the best land, and those like David Crockett who came after often had to keep moving until it seemingly became habit. (P. 10)
