CHAPTER XLIX THE GARDEN OUT OP THE WILDERNESS Plains of the mighty, virgin West, Plains in cold, sterile beauty dressed. Your time of fruit draws nearl Creatures of thicket, vale and shore. Tribes of the hills, your reign is o'er The conquerer is here! The magic of his virile powers Shall change your desert wastes to bowers. Your nakedness to shade; Shall stretch broad, rustling ranks of com Along your stony crests forlorn. And wheat-fields, dappling in the sun. Where your mad autumn fires have run. The trails your bison made Shall grow beneath his hurrying feet To highway broad and village street. Along whose grassy sides shall sleep Meadows and orchards, fruited deep. AFTER twenty years' absence from the scenes of /- his eventful earlier years, during all of which time he could not forget the subtle fascination of the Northwest, the thoughts and desires of Captain Marsh began to turn again almost irresistibly to the regions of the upper Missouri. He longed to look once more upon the vast reaches of prairie and the bald bluffs sweeping along the river, to feel the exhilaration of the keen, pure air borne down from the remote fastnesses of Canada. Nor were his longings impossible of gratification, for the energy and shrewdness of certain business men of the Northwest had been building up, during the years immediately preceding 1903, a new and prosperous river commerce on the waters of the upper Missouri, where, seemingly, it had long before died out for all time. Among these business men, Gen. W. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, ex-United States senator and flour-mill king, was a pioneer. In the rich agricultural country bordering the Missouri above Bismarck, he saw an opportunity for the development of a promising river trade. There, he...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mississippi River occupies a sacred place in American culture and mythology. Often called The Father of Rivers, it winds through American life in equal measure as a symbol and as a topographic feature. To the people who know it best, the river is life and a livelihood. River boatmen working the wide Mississippi are never far from land. Even in the dark, they can smell plants and animals and hear people on the banks and wharves. Bonnie Stepenoff takes readers on a cruise through history, showing how workers from St. Louis to Memphis changed the river and were in turn changed by it. Each chapter of this fast-moving narrative focuses on representative workers: captains and pilots, gamblers and musicians, cooks and craftsmen. Readers will find workers who are themselves part of the country’s mythology from Mark Twain and anti-slavery crusader William Wells Brown to musicians Fate Marable and Louis Armstrong.

Download or read book Hero of Beecher Island written by David Dixon and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George A. Forsyth took a determined stand against Sioux and Cheyenne Indians at the Battle of Beech Island in 1868 and in the process transformed this minor frontier skirmish into a legendary symbol of the American West. This engagement helped mold popular conception of Indian warfare and provided Forsyth with the reputation of being an intrepid Indian fighter like George Custer and Buffalo Bill. Although this image of Forsyth is not necessarily incorrect, it is certainly incomplete. Forsyth began his military career with the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861. Like many other officers who would subsequently gain distinction in the Indian campaign of the West, he learned the art of warfare in the great battles of the Civil War. His ascendancy through the ranks paralleled the rise of the Union cavalry as an effective combat arm during the war, and his education as a cavalryman came under the watchful eye of Phil Sheridan, one of America's most compelling soldiers. The Forsyth-Sheridan relationship began on the Virginia battlefields and continued until 1881. During this long period George Forsyth was one of Sheridan's most trusted aides, serving as the general's eyes and ears in countless military missions that took him from the banks of the Yellowstone to the sacred Black Hills and from the bayous of Reconstruction Louisiana to the palaces of Europe and Asia. Forsyth's varied military career was truly reflective of the army's role in the second half of the nineteenth century. In addition to serving as an instrument of government Indian policy, the army carried out other important missions designed to foster internal development in the United States. These activities included exploring and mapping the remnants of the uncharted West: escorting railroad survey and construction crews and building forts along the major lines of commerce. As a staff officer, George Forsyth played an important part in all of these activities and more. Therefore, while this biography chronicles the life and military career of a remarkable soldier, it also provides fresh insight into the role that the United States Army played during the post-Civil War period.
