Asked by Victoria

How did the mining industry and the growth of ranching and farming contribute to the development of the West?

A: The mining industry lured thousands of people into areas previously ignored as wilderness. The growth of ranching and farming also brought hordes of people into the Great Plains. With people comes business, which attracts railroads. These three factors all contribute to economic development, which overtook the West.
