"We came to build, and building, a mighty structure grew,
And ever as we builded, builded better than we knew;
And through the darkening wilderness, lo! We were led in might.
Our log-heaps made a smoke by day, a pillared flame by night.
Now, when across the continent we've seen our task expand,
To our children's children and their children we do
bequeath this land."

- Robert K. Kernighan: Pioneer's Anthem
