520 _aThe Land once yielded lush and Beautiful vegetation. Forests, prairies, streams, lakes, skies, and shorelines were abundant with game, fish, fowl, and pleasant scenes. Mountain streams ran clear as they found their way to the rivers which funneled to the scenic Atlantic and Pacific. Nature's gifts to Americans were rich, abundant, and unequalled in any country. But due to lack of appreciation, ingenuity, planning, and foresight, these gifts were abused, mismanaged, and lost, never to be restored, not again to be enjoyed by the people, no longer a symbol of life in America.
