Passed very ruff flint hills. My feet blistered and very sore. I stood on a hill, and in one view below me saw buffalo, elk, deer, cabrie [antelope] and panthers.

-Zebulon Pike, September 1806

Those drought years made us realize that we must take care of our grass and water, if grass land was to be saved for future generations. The concept of care and conservation came into being. Heretofore, abundance of grass and of water had been taken for granted.

To those of us with that inheritance, the hills are more than just an economic livelihood—they are grass and cattle, soil and water. They are the cradle of our triumphs and sorrows, they are our very life blood.

-H. Wayne Rogler (1905-1993)
