 Katherine Lee Bates and a group of teachers went to the top of Pikes Peak, first they went up by wagon. Then they rode mules the rest of the way. The poem America the Beautiful was jotted down in a notebook. She was inspired by the way it looked from the top of Pikes Peak. Later, the poem was revised and turned into a hymn. Katherine impacted the past and present by publishing her poem. Now we sing it all the time! ||<  || Information from: Younger, Barbara. __Purple Mountain Majesties__.
