They say history is the essence of innumerable biographies. This was the story of one American�s Love affair with his land - - this glorious, ongoing encounter with the land - - the gradually unfolding faith in the land�what could be grown on it or what might be found under it.
Mid America had come of age and matured during his sojourn in Missouri�s hills - - and like the steam engines he loved - - he belonged to a bygone era - - a much simpler time when your word was your bond and a handshake signed the contract.
�and how do you like this blueeyed boy, Dear Lord?
