Dodge City (1939)

Henry O'Neill: Col. Dodge

Quotes 

• Col. Dodge : Ladies and gentlemen, today a great chapter of history has been written. And we take justifiable pride in bringing this railroad to the terminal furthest in this country. Someday, and I believe in the near future, a great city will spring from this very spot upon which we now stand. A city which will represent all that the West stands for: honesty, courage, morality and culture. For all the noble virtues of civilization, I can see a great metropolis of homes, churches, schools; a fine, decent city which will become the flower of the prairie.

• Col. Dodge : Gentlemen, that's a symbol of America's future: progress. Iron men and iron horses.
