This article describes the John Gast Painting 'Spirit of the Frontier', also called 'American Progess.' In it, Progress is represented as a goddess-like woman, leading settlers from the east to the west. In her hands, she carries a school book and a loop of telegraph wire, demonstrating that education and technology are what brought progress to the American West.
