Rinker Buck Quotes

The Pioneers And Their New Indian Partners Amply Displayed The American Penchant For Technological Prowess, Developing Shore-to-shore Windlasses And Flatboat Ferries To Cross The Rivers, Innovations As Vital To The Country's Progress As The Steam Engine And The Telegraph. America's Default Toward Massive Waste And Environmental Havoc Was Also, And Hilariously, Perfected Along The Trail. Scammed By The Merchants Of Independence And St. Joe Into Overloading Their Wagons, The Pioneers Jettisoned Thousands Of Tons Of Excess Gear, Food, And Even Pianos Along The Ruts, Turning Vast Riverfront Regions Of The West Into America's First And Largest Superfund Sites. On Issue After Issue - Disease, Religious Strife, The Fierce Competition For Water - The Trail Served As An Incubator For Conflicts That Would Continue To Reverberate Through American Culture Until Our Own Day.
