    What Did
Andrew
Carnegie
Say
WE traverse all day a vast prairie watered by the Platte. Nothing could be finer. Such fields of corn,
such herds of cattle grazing at will. Endless herds of cattle untrammeled by fences. No wonder we
export beef, for it is fed here for nothing, and horses and cattle thrive on the rich grasses as if fed on
oats; no flies, no mosquitos, nothing to disturb or annoy, while the pellucid streams that run through the ranches
furnish the best water. Large profits have been made in the trade -the best assurance that it will grow." -Found
