S.C. Gwynne Quotes

And Now The Solider Toiled Upward Through An Extremely Steep Ascent Over Rock Outcroppings And Ravines. At The Top, They Saw Something Few White Men Had Ever Seen: The Preternaturally Flat Expanse Of The High Plains, Covered Only With Short Buffalo Grass.

It Stretched Out Before Us- One Uninterrupted Plain, Only To Be Compared With The Ocean In Its Vastness.' The Scene Was Terrifying Even For Men With Experience Of The Plains.

And It Seemed As If The Solitude Had Been Eternal.
