Mobility of Native Americans

Lowell E. Gallaway and Richard K. Vedder

The Journal of Economic History, 1971, vol. 31, issue 3, 613-649

Abstract: Alone woodsman erecting a log cabin, wagon trains curling across the prairies, fur trappers high in the mountains, Indian war parties, gold strikes, frontier marshalls and gunmen—of such stuff the legends of the American West have been formed and in the popular imagination they are the Westward Movement. Of course, serious historians have long recognized that this is merely a fascinating but veneer-like overlay which disguises a massive movement of people from East to West.
