A Promise Kept..
the Legend of Little America
PUBLISHED BY PETLEY STUDIOS, PHOENIX, ARIZONA
Away back in the nineties when I was a youngster, and herding
sheep in this dreary section of Wyoming, I became lost in a raging
Northeast blizzard and was forced to "Lay Out all night at the
exact spot where Little America now stands. That Long January
night in that terrible storm, with a fifty mile wind and the tempera-
ture about 40 below, passed very, very slowly, and oh, how I longed
for a warm fire side, something to eat and wool blankets. I thought
what a blessing it would be if some good soul would build a house
or shelter of some kind at that god-forsaken place. Many times in
my heart I've promised one there — even dreamed it.
A few years ago when I saw Admiral Byrd's picture of "Little
America" in Antarctic and his isolation so many miles from his
base of supplies, it reminded me of my ex-
perience in that Nor'Easter. The thought
S. M. COVEY came back to me to fulfill that promise, to
erect a monument and haven of refuge
on the spot of my harrowing experi-
ence. The name, of course, was a
natural "LITTLE AMERICA"
