Question

In an issue of the journal Wonderland, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company introduced eastern readers to a view of the west from the railcar: "We are now in the far-famed Yellowstone Valley. . . . There are but few Indians now to be seen along the line of the railroad, and those are engaged in agricultural and industrial pursuits. The extinction of the buffalo has rendered the Indian much more amenable to the civilizing influences brought to bear upon him than he formerly was." In the view of the railroad, what made the Yellowstone Valley more appealing?

Answer 1

Answer:

How Indians (native Americans) were tamed and became more civilized, more white like.

Explanation:

Since the buffalo had been exterminated by white hunters, the Indian tribes could no longer depend on them for their survival and had to settle down. Indian tribes were no longer nomadic and had to engage in an agricultural economy. They also lost their ferociousness, becoming more peaceful and therefore white tourists should not be afraid of them.
