Excerpt from Glimpses and Epigrams of Opie Read
In the heart of the American continent, where a half century ago the pioneer was the hero of the scene and his brave axe, raised against the wilderness, was the symbol of his mighty purpose of conquest, has grown and flourished and now stands before the worlds admiring recognition a school of literary workers, unique in its characteristics, surprising in its success and startling in its promise for the future. No longer do the old communities, in the dignity of their ancient culture, affect disdain of the thinkers and writers of the Great West, cynically prate of their assumed crudities, or treat them with indifference.
