compare the description of Dawson's landing in chapter 1 to the description in chapter 15. how has it changed?

In Chapter 1 Dawson's Landing is a new frontier town. It is a young town - only fifty years old - but it is growing. A rich, slave-worked backcountry of grain and pork provide the sleepy town with its economic sustenance. By chapter 15 there are many more people in the town. It has its own characters and identity. It is no longer a dormant frontier town, it is full of life and excitement. Check out this quote from Ch. 15,

"What a time of it Dawson's Landing was having!
