"Men to match my mountains" is part of the first line of the poem The Coming American by Sam Walter Foss [1858-1911]:
Bring me men to match my mountains,
Bring me men to match my plains,
Men with empires in their purpose
And new eras in their brains.
It is also the title of a book by Irving Stone. The poem is quoted on the title page.
