You have all missed the boat, it was GOLD that caused the westward migration. GOLD on federal land that no one was doing anything with. Look at the population figures for California 1840 less than 20,000 people in all of California. 1950 over 100,000 and all because of GOLD. Then when the placer Gold was worked out they discovered the Comstock in 1859, and the rest is history...GOLD was the big mover...
