Many years later, as the United States of America faced the silent, abandoned blast furnace of Pittsburgh in the setting sun, it would recall that distant afternoon when William Penn led a group of Quakers into the hallowed woods.
At first, it was a silent wasteland, with only the whispers of the Delaware River and the breath of the Appalachian Mountains.
Until the arrival of William Penn.
The name Pennsylvania, in Latin, means "Penn's Woods."
From then on, the name of Penn's family was etched into this land, and in turn, this land recorded the deepest memories and wildest dreams of the United States of America.
While the European continent was still struggling in the fires of religious fanaticism and the tyranny of absolute monarchy, this land already carried the seeds of freedom and tolerance.
It was a sacred experiment, humanity's first attempt to build a utopia based on conscience and contract, free from the shadow of kings and bishops.
