Must have been a hell of a feeling to trek across the plains with a horse drawn cart at 10 miles a day and then see those mountains on the horizon.

My great grandfather was born in 1880 and lived to be 108.

We drove him from his home in the northeast through the western US. He was simply dumbstruck by the vastness of the Great Plains. He would get out at the frequent pee breaks and just look up and around and gasp that "I had no idea that there was a place where you could see all the way to the curve of the earth and not see a single tree or hill."

He was born into the world of horse and buggy and lived to see space travel become routine, but this is the thing that he commented on the most.
