And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Old vs. New
In the foreground, old wagon wheel ruts worn into the limestone bed of Brushy Creek where the Chisholm Trail crossed it.
In the background, the Interstate 35 overpass over Brushy Creek.
Separated by less than 200 yards…yet worlds apart.
Wonder if travelers realize that because of those ruts, they can ride over that bridge...
ReplyDeleteGood question!
DeleteOften pushing cows in Oregon we came across old wagon ruts like that. Always in awe of the men & women who made them.
