(10 pts) Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) governmenttrain carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in asnowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had becomeof his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, andhealthy. How had they survived?The answer lay in resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their hasteto cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the easternparts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was cultivated plant. It grew well withenough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed.But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar blue-joint grass was often killed by drought.To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine fairy-tale grass thatrequired no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But thesurprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient features thatmade them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass, gramagrass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preservedby the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses,but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in barn, but dried right where theygrew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishingthrough the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattlethemselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmlyinto the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. Thedry summer air cured them much as storing in barn cured the cultivated grasses. 101. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War C.
