Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Wall of Men The rudiments of empire here Are plastic yet and warm; The chaos of a mighty world Is rounding into form! - John Greenleaf Whittier. The late summer rains had not been scant, and the Vinland Valley was brilliantly green that October. The Wakarusa winding down to meet the Kaw was bordered either side by grassy stretches of virgin prairie over which the warm autumn breezes swept steadily, gently, ceaselessly. Great waves of verdure, dark in the dip, yellow green on the crest, kept time to the rhythm of the wind. Away to the northward the bluffs on the farther side of the Kaw River were only a gray shadow upon the sky-line. Nearer, in the northwest, with golden crest uplifted above green draperies round about it, rose strong and clear that sentinel headland of the Kaw Valley christened Mount Oread. To the south, a wooded height marks the bold beginning of the swell that separates two Kansas river systems. Down its steep sides the old Santa Fe Trail zigzagged through picturesque ways, shut in here and there by sharp-cut stone ledges, and overhung by vine-draped trees.
