from Big Sky Writer · host Clint Morey

“O beautiful for spacious skies…” — the words are unforgettable, but do you know the story behind them? In 1893, Katharine Lee Bates stood atop Pike’s Peak and was so moved by the view that she began writing what would become America the Beautiful.It's a song that is both a celebration and a prayer: God shed His grace on thee.
