"Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer
“There was need in the Great Plains for some mechanical device that would raise water to the surface, one that would be economical in construction, inexpensive in operation, and capable of making slow but constant delivery in order to raise as much of the precious fluid as was available…Within a short time after its introduction, the windmill became the unmistakable and universal sign of human habitation throughout the Great Plains area.”

Walter Prescott Webb, The Great Plains, 1981
