If by the West you men west of the Mississippi, there was a large migration to the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Territory) in the 1840s which was dying out when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in California, and the Gold Rush began (1849), initiating the greatest westward movement in the 19th Century.
