Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “When Uncle Sam puts his hand to a task, we know it will be done. Not even the hysteria of hard times can frighten him away from the work. When he waves his hand toward the desert and says, ‘Let there be water!’ we know that the stream will obey his command.” William E. Smythe, The Conquest of Arid America, 1905
