“(In painter John Gast's American Progress) we
have this image in our minds of a nation in motion, a society in
motion. And from the 1830s to the 1850s, the market revolution and
the resulting urban changes had produced an American landscape that
people described as energetic, materialistic and seemingly
constantly on the move.”
