The title *Across the Continent* points to the nation's sweep from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a theme that ran through American imagery for much of the nineteenth century. Pictures of this kind often showed wagon trains, rail lines, or open plains, and they helped shape how Americans pictured their growing country. For context, the first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, cutting a journey that once took months to about a week. Study the details of the scene for clues about the travel and settlement it celebrates.
