granted the history of the west. Most view the west with romanticism. This could be the furthest thing from the truth. The author's experience has helped me appreciate the conditions in the west. Carrington's extremely useful portrait of Colonel Fetterman and the events has added to our understanding nineteenth century conditions in the west. Her work is historically valuable. Moreover, her care to place the Fort Kearny experience in a domestic context has enriched the story. Bibliography Carrington
The Lincoln County War was a small skirmish between civilian factions in the New Mexico territory in 1978. It started as a feud between two rival general stores in Lincoln County. It was plagued by poor dissemination of information because, both sides were deputized and assumed they were operating with the law. By the end of the conflict twenty-two people had died, and with the exception of Billy the Kid, both sides were pardoned for their actions. There was no clear winner, and due to questionable

He proposes that cleaning up New York by charging citizens of small crimes will eventually stop citizens from committing larger crimes. To help this, Commissioner William Bratton takes total control of New York City police department. Bratton, being a male in society, made it easier for him to get the job done. Gladwell states “it
The have made movies from his history and have also wrote many books on him. Most of Billy the Kids life remains a heated controversy throughout America. Billy the Kid was born in New York City on November 23, 1859 to William and Kathleen McCarty Bonney and given the name William H. Bonney (There are other stories of his birth but this one is the most reliable). The first recorded killing committed by Billy the Kid was on August 17, 1877. This is also where he got his nickname “Kid';. The
In 1982, the political scientist James Q. Wilson and the criminologist George Kelling psychologist, both Americans, published in The Atlantic Monthly in a study that for the first time, established a causal link between disorder and crime. In that study, called The police and neighborhood safety, the authors used the image of broken windows to explain how the disorder and criminality could slowly seep into a community, causing its decline and the consequent drop in quality of life. Wilson and Kelling

While there he read the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Wordsworth who became two of his lifelong influences. It was not until the summer of 1860 when John Burroughs essay Expression was picked up by Atlantic Monthly. Which was later published in November of that same year. In 1864 John took a job as a
Many have asked the questions of where to purchase the CompStat computer software application and others wanting to know where is this ‘computer’ in their current facility to allow them to have the same success in crime reduction as other police departments over the years. (Godown, 2009) It’s clear that many have a misinterpretation about the CompStat process and its solicitation to crime-fighting efforts. The reality is, there is no state-of-the-art computer equipped with this ‘special’ program
I am completing my Fulbright Grant year as an English Teaching Assistant in South Korea. In this role, I teach conversational English to students and hold teachers’ workshops at Gwangyang High School, an all-boy’s school. Upon my arrival, I was quickly able to adjust to the school environment, feeling integrated with the other teachers and comfortable with the students. I applied specifically to Fulbright Korea because I wanted to gain greater insight into the country’s recent economic success and
Sand Creek Massacre, Fetterman Massacre, The Red River War, The Battle of Little Bighorn, and the Battle of Wounded Knee were all a part of the Plains Indian Wars. These battles stretched from Northern Texas to Southern South Dakota. The five battles were fought for similar reasons. The U.S. continued to move West, and ignored traditional Native American heritage. The Native Americans became frustrated and attempted to reclaim their land. The Sand Creek Massacre and Fetterman Massacre showed the
of how good a warrior and because of this he was awarded the title of “Shirt Wearer” a term for only the best and bravest fighters. Crazy Horse helped lead the attack against Captain William J. Fetterman who was stationed in a fort that was in Sioux territory Crazy Horse and a few other Sioux taunted Captain William and his troop until they chased after Crazy Horse right into a trap set by the Sioux. William’s ninety men were
all 30 United States Army troops. The incident would kick off, what would be known later as, the Sioux Wars. The Grattan massacre would be the first of many massacres at the hands of Crazy Horse and the Sioux. After leading Lieutenant Colonel William J. Fetterman and his soldiers from their fort into a trap and slaughtering every single one of them, the Sioux had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The American settlers and military would vacate the lands and posts. Red Cloud, giving
American Indian Wars There is perhaps a tendency to view the record of the military in terms of conflict, that may be why the U.S. Army’s operational experience in the quarter century following the Civil War became known as the Indian wars. Previous struggles with the Indian, dating back to colonial times, had been limited. There was a period where the Indian could withdraw or be pushed into vast reaches of uninhabited and as yet unwanted territory in the west. By 1865 the safety valve was fast
When people began migrating from Europe to America many things began to change. There were people who already inhabited this land, but the “new” settlers only saw it as theirs and no one else’s. As the nation grew larger and larger the Natives were pushed further and further west. The Plains Indians were a large group that saw each and every step of this process. They were successful and self sufficient, then they endured the Trail of Tears, and finally they had to depend on the U.S. government
