"This was a quick read, and really a lovely story for an equally wonderful song we all know so well and are touched by. I had heard elements of the story about Katherine Bates and the inspiring view she saw at the summit of Pike's Peak, but I didn't know much else about the story of either the poem "America the Beautiful" (she wrote it then revised it twice before getting to the poem we all sing today) or the story of Samuel Ward and his original hymn tune.
