On May 10, 1869, the last spike of the transcontinental railroad - a ceremonial golden one - was set into the tie at Promontory, Utah. America’s east and west coasts were connected for the first time. A one-word telegram let the nation know. It said: “Done.”
After the track was joined, people seeking a new life in the West dramatically transformed the country. As a result, the Navajo and Apache would lose their homes and be forced to live on reservations. Shoshone would beg at train stations. Native-American cliff dwellings became a thing of the past. Solve the locks in this breakout to learn about some of the events and people that led to the opening of the west. Good luck!
