this photo of a hillside in Chase
County. "As to scenery (giving my own thought and feeling), while I know
the standard claim is that Yosemite, Niagara Falls, the Upper Yellowstone, and the like
afford the greatest natural shows, I am not so sure but the prairies and plains, while
less stunning at first sight, last longer, fill the esthetic sense fuller, precede all the
rest, and make North America's characteristic landscape." |
