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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capt. Grant Marsh was one of the river pilots who navigated the shoals and rapids of the Missouri River. Captain Marsh watched Jackson�s sense of American Manifest Destiny unfold. He helped survey the upper reaches of the Missouri, he took his steamer to the shallows of little Bighorn to return battle-weary soldiers to their homes, and he watched as the region was transformed from a lonesome wilderness to a region of agriculture, commerce, and industry. In his presentation of the life of the great steamboat captain, Joseph Mills Hanson provides historical context for Captain Marsh�s accomplishments and uses accounts of his contemporaries to breathe life into one of the men who helped shape the future of this nation. The Conquest of the Missouri is one of the classic narratives on the history of the American West.
