The first great rush of population to the far west was drawn to the mountainous regions, where gold was found in California in 1848, in Colorado and Nevada ten years later, in Montana and Wyoming in the l860s, and in the Black Hills of the Dakota country in the l870s. Miners opened up the country,established communities and laid the foundations for more permanent settlements. Yet even while digging in the hills, some settlers perceived the region's farming and stock-raising possibilities. Eventually, though a few communities continued to be devoted almost exclusively to minimal, the real wealth of Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and California proved to be in the grass and soil.
参考答案:
最初大规模迁往极西地带的移民,大多集中在山区。在那里,加州于一八四八年发现了金矿,十年后在科罗拉多和内华达州,十九世纪六十年代在蒙大拿和怀俄明州,十九世纪七十年代在达科他的黑山地区都先后发现了金矿。采矿者开发了这些地区,建立了村镇,打下了永久定居的基础。不过,在山区采矿的同时,有些移民已看到这些地区有从事农业和畜牧业的可能。不过,在山区采矿的同时,有些移民已看到这些地区有从事农业和畜牧业的可能。后来,少数城镇虽然专门从事采矿业,但蒙大拿、科罗拉多、怀俄明、爱达荷等州的真正财富,也和加州一样,还是在草原和沃土中。
