| | FILM SUMMARY:The Plow that Broke the Plains, a film by Pare Lorentz |
 | | This is a record of the land, of soil, rather than people, a story of the great plains, 400,000,000 acres of windswept grass lands that spread up from the Texas panhandle to Canada--a high, treeless continent, without rivers, without streams. |
 | | CU of shining plow blade as it begins to move through the soil. |
 | | By 1890 we had cleared the Indian, and with him, the buffalo, from the Great Plains, and established the last frontier. |
