Dusty & Dry


"It was as thought they lacked the retinal nerve that allowed them to see the land for what it was; they could see it only for what it refused to be -- namely, the green picturesque scenery and tillable farmland of the settled world from which they had come." -how the men of the Washington Expedition viewed the American Southwest during their quest to subdue the Navajos in 1849. Quote from Blood & Thunder.
