Excerpt from The Dissolving Circle
Like the grain fields which, following the influx of the newcomers, sprang from the surface of the broken sod, a town arose; a municipality which, inevitably as the law of heredity, partook of the nature of its founders, of the character of the land amid which it was born: a town impatient of restraint, sublimely independent, throbbingly vital, ceaselessly active, neu trally tolerant, splendidly optimistic. One by one, greedy of conquest, rival railroads crept converging in as previously the prairie schooners had done, and almost before it was aware of the change the town had become a city.
