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.
