Walt Whitman said, in 1884:
If I should need to name, O Western World, your powerfulest scene and  
show,
'Twould not be you, Niagara - nor you, ye limitless prairies - nor  
your huge rifts of canyons, Colorado,
Nor you, Yosemite - nor Yellowstone, with all its spasmic geyserloops  
ascending to the skies, appearing and disappearing,
Nor Oregon's white cones - nor Huron's belt of mighty lakes - nor  
Mississippi's stream:
This seething hemisphere's humanity, as now, I'd name - the still  
small voice vibrating -America's choosing day...
