Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conquest of the Continent
While yet with childish feet the nation walked Between the ocean and the mountain wall That towered to westward, was a garden plot When restless, eager youth came on apace; And the new ?ag, but late unfurled to air, Yearned for an azure field wherein to plant The silver stars that told of states new-born.
