Barstow is a historical account that was written in the early 20th century. The book examines the expansive migration and settlement patterns of Americans moving westward, detailing key figures and events that shaped this significant chapter in U.S. history. With contributions from various authors, it covers topics such as pioneers, the establishment of new territories, and the interactions between settlers and Native Americans, illustrating the courage and determination of those involved in these movements. The opening portion of the text sets the scene for this exploration of westward expansion. It starts with a historical vignette about Thomas Hooker and his congregation's migration to Connecticut, noting the struggles and motivations that fuelled early settlers’ desire for new lands. The narrative then describes the slow but steady growth of colonial populations and the gradual push westward, driven by both opportunity and the conflicts with Native Americans. As it unfolds, the section introduces significant figures like George Rogers Clark and Daniel Boone, chronicling their journeys and contributions while reflecting on the themes of exploration, survival, and the profound transformation of the American frontier.
