In the first 1/3 of this film, I was going into conniptions of the narrators' use of the word 'yet'. After he figured he better leave that word alone, the film seagues into a pretty dry explanation of what the Western states offers us (loks of trees and minerals) and other dry material. Pretty standard stuff.
