A Monument to Failure
BY Elmo Scott Watso


r ONG'S PEAK, the highest in Col
IL orado, is not only a memorial
to its first American discoverer,
Mai. Stephen H. Long, OF the En-
gineers Corps of the United States
army, but it is also a monument to
a great failure. -sse"'s'S-s' =-.'"@
In 1919 the United States govern
ment was preparing to send great
army into the Upper Missouri coun-
try to establish military post to
protect and extend the fur trade.
The expedition was also expected to
add to the scientific knowledge OF
the West and Major Long was di-
rected to take with him a group OF
scientists for this purpose.
With small and inadequately
supplied force, he crossed the plains
to the base of the Rockies and spent
some time exploring that region.
When he returned he made re-
port that was destined to become
famous for its inaccuracies. I'm re-
gard to this extensive section OF
the country" he wrote, 1--WE do not
hesitate in giving our opinion that
it is almost wholly unfit for cultiva-
ton, and of course u1inhabitable by
a people depending upon agriculture
for their subsistence. ;"
More than any other man, per-
haps, he was responsible for fixing
upon the maps of the United States
of that time the words 'The Great
American Desert and those words
retarded development of that coun.
try for nearly half a century.
