The Railroad, part 12
In 1844 Asa Whitney envisioned a railroad, stretching across the United States from ocean to ocean and began seeking possible routes that would reach from Lake Michigan to the Pacific Coast. Before Congress he proposes such a railroad, asked for a vast land grant, and assures Congress that the Indians will be of no concern. In the next ten years many Indian tribes are forced to concede thousands of acres with some tribes being removed to Indian Territory. The Union Pacific is given until July 1, 1876, to reach the western boundary of Nevada Territory, and God help anyone, white or red, who stands in its way.

Early Bloomers in a New Land
After three weeks of a constantly spinning turnstile here, at the inn, my wife and I finally got away from the mountains and the winter for a couple days, heading for the coast and Point Reyes National Seashore. Imagine our surprise, discovering verdant slopes tumbling into the blue Pacific Ocean, full of life as well as the promise of life. Gray Whales were spouting off-shore, a variety of birds soared and zoomed and fluttered and hovered, a Bobcat hunkered down in the tall grass as we hiked by, Tule Elk foraged here and there, and an assortment of wildflowers were already in bloom.
