HISTORIANS WHO DESCRIBE the American West as offering optimum opportunity assume, usually without reference to adequate evidence, that initiative, frugality, innovation, and hard work assured economic success. According to these writers, such qualities were characteristic of the westward movement in the nineteenth century.1 This vision of the American West is especially prominent in memoirs, local histories, and travel accounts.2 In most instances the vision is based on the selective testimony of people who recorded their experiences. Moreover, studies expressing this theme employ traditional rather than quantitative research methods to examine opportunity and success on the frontier. Consequently, they usually deal with stable populations. Often such an approach results in a history that is only a catalog of colorful incidents and anecdotes
