“Our camp was just a stone's throw from the headquarters of the Commander–in–Chief, in this eucalyptus grove, and in the spring the valley around us, where Napoleon, Richard Coeur de Lion, Titus, Sennacharib, and the armies of Rameses had camped ages before us, was carpeted with gorgeous wild flowers.”

-Lowell Thomas
