Notes

Abstract: John Gast's 1872 painting "American Progress" is a picture of the concept of Manifest Destiny—railroads and settlers as symbols of progress pushing American Indians and bison herds out of the way. To fulfill this destiny, explorers created trails to facilitate the movement of greater numbers of white pioneers. Clara Sue Kidwell discusses the implications of the Whipple Expedition, particularly the imagery created by the group's artist, Heinrich Möllhausen.
