Text —> Dear Emily, This is farewell, dear friend. My family and I set out tomorrow.Out past the horizon to see what waits for us in the west. Will there be gold? Will there be trouble? Will there be some place we can call home? Truly, I am terrified. But I know it is the will of President Polk1 and of God for us to spread as far as we can. So, we will follow that setting sun to our destiny. We are going into territory that no one has gone before. I don’t just mean the well you and I explored when we were young, dear Emily. No white people have set foot on the path we’re about to take. A pioneer, after all, is someone who explores a country for the very first time. Yes, those Indians were here first, but we do not think of them as Christians. Not yet, anyway
