Abstract
The events that transforms the far West and its economy begin in the mid 19th century with the discovery of gold in California. A second major economic surge occurs with the emergence of the cattle industry, but like the mining industry, the early economic success of cattle ranchers is difficult to sustain. It is the third major development that really gives impetus to Western growth and that is the arrival of the railroad. There is no way to move the products the West produces to Eastern markets without the railroad, and the changes that occur with its arrival are unprecedented.
