Mythic Pike's Peak Moment Sparks Song Across Time
A 1893 ascent on Pike's Peak inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write America the Beautiful. The hymn, praised for its nobility, guides national ideals and unity. A Cape Cod committee and notable figures push to adopt it as Bicentennial official hymn. The essay contrasts heroic heritage with youthful fashion and calls for justice and mercy in power.
