<br /> <br />Compliments James A. Michener from <br />Centennial: <br /> <br /> <br />"The Plattel That's the sorriest river in America. <br />You've heard all the jokes about the Platte. Too thick <br />to drink, too thin to plow. That's a nothing river." <br /> <br />"Good Godll couldn't help myself. The South <br />Platte was the most miserable river in the West, a <br />trickle in summer when it's water was needed, a <br />raging torrent in spring. It was muddy, often more <br />island than river, and prior to the introduction of <br />irrigation, it had never served a single useful purpose <br />in it's halting career." <br />
