Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dissolving Circle As distinctly as individuals, cities have personalities. Gay, careless, defiant, dignified, sordid, sombre, phlegmatic, nervous, restless, up and down the gamut they go, mirroring, as the surface of a sluggish stream the face of the chance observer, the predominant characteristic of those who live within their limits; with age changing slightly, superficially perhaps, but beneath, throbbing on, on for the space of generations with the guiding impulse whose insistent demand gave them birth. Time was, and to many of the Middle West it seems not long past, when the red man was more than a mere puppet of fiction. In evidence thereof a government, which seldom countenances the unnecessary, established near the junction of what are now three great States, and not far from the confines of a fourth, a barracks. It was the beginning of the age of land hunger, not the fierce, unsatisfied, unsatisfiable longing which now a generation later holds the nation in its grip, which makes the hundred thousand gamble and struggle for tiny tracts their fathers passed disdainfully by, but its discriminating precursor which from a bounty seemingly inexhaustible chose the fairest of the fair.
