Grammar issue in Chapter 54

I am on my first read of this prodigious novel, and as yet I have encountered many beautifully complex sentences, but I am really struggling with this one (on the sixth page of Chapter LIV in my edition, at the end of the paragraph starting with "On the eastern shore of our Lake Erie, Don;)

Shouldn't there be something like "be controlled/managed" after "might yet"? I feel like there is a verb missing here and to me the whole sentence derails because of it.

I've checked in several editions so to my knowledge it's no printing error. I'm quite curious to know what you all think!
