A collection of eyewitness articles and recollections that trace efforts to acquire, survey, and settle lands along the southwestern border during the mid-nineteenth century. The narrative covers diplomatic bargaining for a southern boundary, competing land grants and speculative syndicates, exploratory journeys, and practical considerations for railroads, mining, agriculture, and climate. It also recounts episodes of violence and resistance, and reflects on political and economic motives shaping plans to colonize and organize a new territorial entity.
