A few years ago our family was vacationing in Colorado with your family – remember Estes Park? – and as we returned home I realized that what I was seeing had to be the inspiration for at least part of America the Beautiful, lovely Walla Walla wheat country not withstanding.  When we returned home I looked it up, no Wikipedia back then, and discovered I was right.  But the truth is, had she been in Walla Walla in 1895 she would have written the words exactly the same way.
