“Whenever you stop on the prairie to lunch or camp, and gaze around, there is a picture such as poet or painter never succeeded in transferring to book or canvas… We ought to have saved a Park in Kansas, ten thousand acres broad — the prairie as it came from the hand of God, not a foot or an inch desecrated by ‘improvements’ or ‘cultivation.’ It is only a memory now.” – D.W. Wilder
