You know, ladies and gentlemen, someone once said humors the true democracy. That's why we in America can smile when we tell the stories of the legendary heroes who help build our country's great industries and institutions.

Even an industry like Transcontinental Transportation has its hero, Windwagon Smith, born on the prairie when transportation was just beginning. Of course, transportation then wasn't anything like it is today. There were no jet-propelled planes, no racing cars capable of going over 400 miles an hour, trains that could cross the country in a little over two days.

the traveling in the early days was done by ox team and folks covered fifteen miles a day they were doing good that's what when wagonsmith wanted to change when he showed up with his prairie clipper the clipper was a wagon without any kind of animals to pull it but it had a sale

sticking up from the middle of it when the wind caught the sale the clipper took off and when wagonsmith figured he could cover as much as seventy miles a day the first people laughed at him but when he pointed out how the new country was spreading out and how big cities would be springing up and how people would need transportation for

themselves and their goods, they began to figure that maybe the prairie clipper was a good idea at that. Windwagon invited the US Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy to ride in the clippers maiden voyage, but disaster struck.
