Adapted from The Pioneers
by James Fenimore Cooper
Soon after the United States achieved independence, its citizens directed their attention to developing the land's natural advantages. Previously, New York's inhabited parts were limited to a small area. Within a short period, the population spread itself over a larger area and grew to over a million inhabitants who could find abundance and avoid competing for resources.
It was near the setting of the sun, on a clear, cold day, when a sleigh was moving slowly up a mountain in the district we have described. The people on the sleigh were in search of their own abundance. The road wound along the edge of a cliff and was upheld by a foundation of logs on one side. A single track, barely wide enough to receive the sleigh, marked the route of the highway, and this was sunk nearly two feet below the surrounding surface.
