In the beginning, there was nothing but a vast expanse of arid land, scattered here and there with dry undergrowth, like the last traces of life in a forgotten world. At the centre of this desert was a solitary watering hole, a precious oasis that attracted the few creatures daring to brave the crushing heat. Further away, on the horizon, rose a range of imposing hills where herds of untamed horses galloped freely. Hundreds of them made up a majestic sight as they were seen cutting through the rock with fierce grace. It was here that a daring and ambitious man ventured one day, guided by a vision that surpassed the imagination of his contemporaries. On the edge of unexplored territory, he stood there staring into the future. He had left his home town, leaving behind a peaceful life, with the sole aim of building his own empire. This year, 1848, would mark the beginning of his glory. It would be the year that would take him to the heights of wealth and fame, etching his name forever in the history of the United States of America.
