"In the beginning was virgin land and America was promises - and buffalo by thousands pawed the Great Plains - and the Red Man gave over to an endless tide of white men in endless numbers with a land hunger and no end to the land they wanted - over the eastern seaboard through the Appalachians moved this human tide of pioneers and homeseekers - out among the spreading arteries of the Mississippi waterway system - out to the Rockies and beyond to the long sunsets of the west coast." text panel "Road to Victory", 1942
