A Seagoing Cowboys Programme, I think that people should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys programme because it is a nice thing to do because you can help when there could be a natural disaster and you could participate on doing that. There are many good reasons why i would be a good idea to be a Seagoing Cowboy because is could help with money and jobs because if you do it then you could get paid money for doing a certain job or you could get a job that you could help with towns that need help after it got ruined. During being a seagoing cowboy you can help other families bye starting any farms if they had any cleaning the streets so people can go places and more people can come in and help the town get back together.
In the introduction, Hämäläinen introduces how Plains Indians horse culture is so often romanticized in the image of the “mounted warrior,” and how this romanticized image is frequently juxtaposed with the hardships of disease, death, and destruction brought on by the Europeans. It is also mentioned that many historians depict Plains Indians equestrianism as a typical success story, usually because such a depiction is an appealing story to use in textbooks. However, Plains Indians equestrianism is far from a basic story of success. Plains equestrianism was a double-edged sword: it both helped tribes complete their quotidian tasks more efficiently, but also gave rise to social issues, weakened the customary political system, created problems between other tribes, and was detrimental to the environment.
Ever wonder what it is like to live through the Great Depression as a farmer? Being able to work on the land and of a sudden people are leaving their homes because they were forced to leave. The only hope these farmers have now is to move out west to look for work and to have a better life. Would these farmers be able to rebuild their lives after having their old lifestyle they have known for so long to be ripped away from them or will this new idea of moving out west turned out to be hopeless in the end? This issue happens to the Joads family in the novel The Grapes of Wrath written by John Steinbeck. The book takes place during the Great Depression. Steinbeck’s novel is about a man named Tom Joad who travels with his family from Oklahoma
cooked for dinner. Brown soup for the the men who work in the fields. No matter what race, its hard for anyone who does work in the field. The cotton gin is a major factor in the money dream and the mill makes money for a wife and maybe. my wife, who boxed peaches and plums and hoed her dad's fields as a girl.
For the Bay Game I was assigned the role of waterman 2 in the Potomac watershed. The Potomac watershed is located to the left of the chesapeake bay and is considered to be in four states: West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. There are over five-million people that live within the Potomac watershed. Waterman are men and women who make most of their money by fishing, crabbing, and oystering on the Chesapeake Bay. Most watermen on the Chesapeake Bay do not work for a company and are independent fishermen. They have their own boat and they use their own equipment, and they sell whatever they catch(fish, crab, eel) to different seafood outlets/warehouses. Most watermen start their day early(at sunrise) and depending on the catch, they may have to travel several miles to the fishing or harvesting grounds. In the summer their main catch is crab, and in the spring, fall, and winter they fish for a variety of different fishes, eels and oysters. Throughout the year the watermen fish in all kinds of weather. If the waterman do not work, whether it be from sickness or injury, th...
Even though there were plentiful reasons, there were ample hardships too. First of all, women often had no say in whether they were going or not, and then had to sell anything that wouldn’t be of any use on the trail. Then, it was a six month trip, sometimes longer, and all of that time was on the trail, out in the wilderness. Many died, and when that happened, the family had to immediately get over it; otherwise they would be “a weak link.” Travelers could be attacked by Indians or animals. Wagons could break down and the whole crew would stop. Although it wasn’t often, cannibalism could be the only way to survive. There were diseases. Many women had to g...

They were born in a Philadelphia tavern on November 10th, 1775. They are the first to fight when our nation is not ready. They fight in the air, on the land and on the sea. They are the world’s most versatile and quick reacting fighting force that will go to any emergency that the President and nation declares. They are the United States Marine Corps. But the United States Marine Corps would not have begun without the Continental Navy’s dire needs during the Revolutionary War. The Continental Navy needed experienced and well trained soldiers- essentially an integrated Army- that could defend the Navy’s ships from boarders and board the enemy’s ships. Most importantly the Navy needed a landing force. Today, the Marine Corps is the most prominent and well respected fighting force in the world. They are the projection of force on sea just as the Continental Marines were.
Frontier life was difficult for Molly’s family because they had to be self-sufficient of all the jobs to do such as feeding the horses, harvesting the farm, cooking the food, feeding the cows, making tools and clothes, and planting seeds.
The Choctaw peoples, along with tribes including Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Muscogee, were created underground. After these peoples were created, each tribe emerged from a cave and were instructed by the creator on which direction to go. When the Choctaw peoples emerged last, the creator instructed them to stay right there in that area, which became the Mississippian homeland of the Choctaw, and nearby was the site of their first village: Nvnih Waiya. A second creation story goes that two brothers Chahta and Chikasha, along with their peoples, were instructed by God to have a holy man place a sacred pole into the ground each night, and in the morning, to follow the direction the pole was tilting. Every day for months, the brothers and their peoples put the sacred pole into the ground, and every morning they followed its tilt. The two brothers argued and one day Chikasha took his tribe and left; they became the Chickasaw tribe. Chahta and his peoples still followed the tilt of the stick every day until one morning, they saw that there was no tilt. The sacred pole was standing straight up. The Choctaw people knew they were
The kiowa tribe was a tribe of indians that originated in the northern plains of Canada. After their time in Canada they had to migrate south a very long way to Oklahoma and Texas which is located in North America. The Kiowa were mainly located around the Texas panhandle. The Texas panhandle is made up of western Oklahoma and northeast New Mexico.hunters. The Kiowa tribe was allies with the Comanche indians who lived in the same general area.

Before the Revolutionary War with Great Britain, U.S. trade ships enjoyed the safety that the British Royal Navy provided. When the new nation won their independence however, the British wasted no time with informing the Barbary Pirates that the US ships were open for attack again. The Barbary pirates, who had been marauding off the coast of Africa for centuries, encountered a new enemy in the early 19th century: the young United States Navy (McNamara, 2016). The North African pirates had been a menace for so long that by the late 1700s most nations paid tribute to ensure that merchant shipping could proceed without being violently attacked. In the early years of the 19th century, the United States, at the direction of President Thomas Jefferson, decided to halt the payment of tribute (Jefferson, 2008). A war between the small and scrappy American Navy and the Barbary pirates ensued.
The southwest Native Americans had a very harsh climate, and environment. First off, they lived in Southwestern America, and Northern Mexico, In states such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, (next to the Rocky Mountains). It was a dry and hot climate, usually about 100°F. with ~1-2 inches of rain per year. There were mountains, plateaus, valleys, canyons, and mountains. There was little to no game so hunting was not an option. The soil was not very fertile, and there was little water due to the lack of rivers, which made farming hard. There were almost no forest to live in but the forests that were there were usually inhabited. I claim that living in Southwest America is hard. The Southwest Native Americans
...ms within. I grew up on the lake, so water will and has always been a part of my life. I go to the beach almost every year, so I am frequently involved with the ocean life as well. My dad is a fisherman; he has been to many places and shown me many unique animals he has caught. I feel that it would be the most interesting job to have because there is a huge ocean to explore. Another awesome part of the job would be the idea of always learning new things about the fish. It would never turn into that job that has the same old routine because discoveries are still being made. The only down side to being a marine biologist is constantly smelling like a fish and dealing with the rather large fish that could endanger my life. But every job is going to have a down side, if these two are the only downsides to having this job, then I would have no problem conquering my fear.
Thousands of Americans started selling off their land in the Midwest and using the money to buy things such as ox and wagons to travel west. They also bought things such as cows, horses, chickens, and pigs to use as food and labor. Americans had to be careful with what they chose to bring of their journey to Oregon since they could only carry so much in a covered wagon. Mainly people chose to bring the necessities and brought few keepsakes with them on their journey.
rural lifestyle and moving to cities where they could find work, but lived substandard lives.
