Title
English: Northern Pacific Railway grading crew in the Big Cut, Beaver Creek Valley, North Dakota, 1879
Description
English:

On verso of image: NP grading crew in the Big Cut, Beaver Creek Valley, western North Dakota, 1879. Making a "cut" and unloading into a "fill"; and so it went, endlessly and on into the distant horizons for hundreds of miles. No other nation in the world ever did anything like our restless people of the "Seventies" and they never will, and our young people of today, are just as capable of doing good things too. The fast, better.
