What is the American Dream?
To nineteenth century Americans, it was a plot of land to call your own, that – through hard work – would
prosper and you could pass down to your children.

The Westward Movement• Americans continued to move
westward in large numbers, but proved to have lots of difficulties– Independent– Tenacious– Uneducated
• Emerging literature reflected these unique types of people such as James Fenimore Cooper's woodsy hero "Natty Bumppo" in the Leatherstocking Tales, or Herman Melville's whale-hunting "Captain Ahab."
“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a
trail.”

Shaping the Western Landscape
• Although the land was to be used, Americans respected it and noticed its beauty.
• George Catlin was an artist who painted western scenes and Native Americans. He was a first advocate of national parks; Yellowstone became the first national park in 1872.
• Misuses of land– “land butchery” by tobacco farmers– Fur trappers taking a toll on the beaver
population– Over-hunting of buffalo
