平原沙漠论
American historians have argued that the myth of the Great American Desert
dominated the pre-Civil War view of the Great Plains. It was this conception of the
plains as Desert, according to the traditional interpretation, that caused the American
folk migration westward to leap over the region during the 1840‘s and the 1850‘s.
This conventional understanding is neither completely invalid nor necessarily
incorrect; but it is too simplistic to be fully satisfying. To claim the universal
acceptance of stereotyped images contrary. 声称普遍接受大平原的刻板形象,就是(矛盾的)忽视了大量相反数据的存在
By the middle of the 1840‘s, the concept of the plains as Desert had become
prevalent普遍的, but even then the Desert image was not the exclusive one.这一理论并不唯一
The year 1845 is critical, for of the Great Plains is to ignore the presence of a considerable array of data (大量事实),复杂修饰 to what marked the beginning of the migration of Americans across the Plains to Oregon and California. 向平原外迁移这一事实 An examination of the sources of American images of the plains in that year does not support the contention 不支持一个事实,that the folk migration failed to halt 未能停止在沙漠因为他们不喜欢沙漠,
on the Great Plains because that region was viewed unfavourably by the migrants. 顺承,支持这句话By 1845 the American frontier was bursting with what one Missouri newspaper editor called ―perfect Oregon fever.ǁ But those who encouraged migration to Oregon did
not deny the agricultural potential of the Plains. They simply made Oregon the logical
and desirable culmination of the American drive to the Pacific.
