From the New York Times
There was a steady movement all night, and then it happened that when the 10 o’clock train on the Santa Fe had crossed the Arkansas and mounted the divide, the passengers were treated to the sight of a seemingly endless procession of white-capped wagons moving rapidly along the trail which parallels the railroad to Guthrie and beyond.
As far as the eye could reach, looking north and south, the level, green plain was dotted with wagons, horses, and men. There were a dozen Otoe Indians on the train en route to their reservation and they looked with anything but kindly eyes on the panorama. . . .
The train which took its leisurely flight southward through the Indian Territory today was composed of five coaches, each comfortably filled with boomers who had apparently reached the conclusion that their chances of securing quarter sections in the promised land would be greatly improved if they went to Purcell and entered the army of Texans now camped there on the banks of the Canadian. . . .
After reading the article, which statement best describes what the Indians who were on the train thought when they saw massive numbers of homesteaders in the distance?
