    That man should listen when his mate sings;
    But the true male never yet walked
    Who liked to listen when his mate talked.

    We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of families traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
