A great book. Some thoughts I shared upon reading it seven years ago:
"Here from finish'd earth, triumphant trod The last ascending steps of her creating God." ~ Joel Barlow, "The Columbiad" (1807)
“Thousands of Mexicans, many of them Communist, are waiting a chance to cross the Rio Grande.” ~ Hiram Wesley Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (1923) Representative Roy, please see your local Kleagle for a hood fitting. (I kid, this is the '20s Klan--they don't have shame)
"We apologize again for the fault in the freedom of navigation. Those responsible for tolling the people who have just been tolled have been tolled."
I greatly enjoyed the opportunity earlier this week to attend a couple events here in Bozeman featuring @vlamont.bsky.social's work on the legacy of bestselling Western writer Bertha M. Bower. I'm looking forward to reading her biography of Bower, and digging into Bower's own work.
This is one of those books that haunts you long after you're done reading it.
