Parlons de Manifest Destiny et tout ca...here's Jessie Benton Fremont and husband John (the literary gift is said to have been hers, but they published jointly) on the Wind River Range: "a gigantic disorder of enormous masses, and a savage sublimity of naked rock, in a wonderful contrast with innumerable green spots of rich floral beauty, shut up in their stern recesses."
