The city would have died out, rotted, and exploded, long ago, but that it was reinforced from the fields. It is only country which came to town day before yesterday, that is city and court today.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has our American civilization been in such danger as now....

—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
