520    “Americans aren't wrong in seeing the West as a land of 
       the future, a land in which astonishing things are 
       possible. What they often are wrong about is that there's 
       no price to be paid for that, that everybody can succeed, 
       or that even what succeeds is necessarily the best for all
       concerned. The West is much more complicated than that."- 
       Richard White. By 1877, the American conquest of the West 
       was nearly complete. For every Indian in the West, there 
       were now nearly 40 whites, and as the Indian wars drew to 
       a close, the last obstacles to American domination dropped
       away, and the country readied itself to assert control 
       over the entire region. Between 1877 and 1887, four and a 
       half million more people came West. Almost half settled on
       the western Plains, creating new towns in a region once 
       thought too harsh for human habitation: Bismarck and 
       Champion, Epiphany, Wahoo and Nicodemus. Some came seeking
       freedom, land of their own -- and opportunities they 
       couldn't find in the East, while others found in the West 
       a place to change themselves -- become someone else, to 
       start over. But as more and more Americans arrived, there 
       was less and less room for those who didn't conform. 
       [Navajo boy before and after entering Carlisle Indian 
       School]Indians were expected to change overnight -- to 
       forget their old ways and make themselves over in the 
       image of their conquerors. The Chinese, who had done more 
       than almost anyone to connect the West to the rest of the 
       nation, would be told that they were no longer welcome in 
       the United States. Mexican-Americans were overwhelmed by 
       the newcomers, even in towns where they had lived for 
       centuries. While the Mormons were forced to surrender part
       of their religion in order to save the rest of it. But 
       even as Americans tried to “tame” the West, they 
       preferred to remember a gaudier version -- full of 
       violence, adventure, and most of all, romance -- a “Wild 
       West.” And yet, between 1877 and 1887, Americans would 
       come to learn firsthand just how “wild” the West could 
       really be -- and that no conquest could ever be complete.
