". . . but the loveliest myth of all America was the far West. . . a lost impossible province. . . where men were not dwarfs and where adventure truly was. For a brief season, consider, the myth so generously begotten became fact. For a few years Odysseus Jed Smith and Siegfried Carson and the wingshod Fritzpatrick actually drew breath in this province of fable. The suddenly it was all myth again. Wagons were moving down the trails, and nowhere remained any trace of the demigods who passed this way." - Bernard DeVoto
