The making
of leaders
We need our open space preserved because it speaks silently back to our roots. It is measured in the value of several centuries of national business, military and political leaders, and American presidents who have seen it and chosen to make this Piedmont countryside their home.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wallace Stegner has written: “It seems significant that the distinct downturn in our literature from hope to bitterness took place at almost the precise time when the frontier officially came to an end in 1890 and the American way of life had begun to turn steadily urban and industrial.
“The more urban it has become, the more frantic with technological changes, the sicker and more embittered our literature and, I believe, our people have become.”
