Everyone from adventuresome people , to entrepeneurs , scammers , and the desperate. Everyone saw the opportunity differently, but it was an important part of expansion Westward in the US, and it worked well . If not, we'd all still be living in Kansa City, so personally, I am very grateful to those hardy pioneer men and women who eventually made it possible for us to expand to West Coast.
