Excerpt from Boys and Girls Biography of Abraham Lincoln

A great English writer in a lecture on America and the Americans said that when an American gets to beav en he will not be satisfied unless he can move farther west.

He said this because it has been so much the custom of our people to move West. It is not so common now as it was a few years ago because the great public lands, free to those who would settle on them or plant trees, are mostly occupied.
