The Long, Bitter Trail: Andrew Jackson and the Indians by Anthony F.C. Wallace The Long, Bitter Trail: Andrew Jackson and the Indians was written by Anthony F.C. Wallace. In his book, the main argument was how Andrew Jackson had a direct affect on the mistreatment and removal of the native Americans from their homelands to Indian Territory. It was a trail of blood, a trail of death, but ultimately it was known as the "Trail of Tears". Throughout Jackson's two terms as President, Jackson used
They hike the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail is a 2,181 miles backpacking tail from Georgia to Maine that is being broken down because of overuse, a problem that is motivating organizations to step in and improve the conditions of the trail.

Chautauqua trail in Boulder Colorado with two of my close friends. I’ve hiked Chautauqua multiple times before, but this time we decided to take a different trail to the top, one we had not hiked before. Chautauqua is managed by the City of Boulder Park and Recreation and holds a variety of different attractions such as hiking, camping, and picnicking. The trails zig-zag across the flatirons in different types of various routes to the top. There are not many human alterations outside of the trails and dirt
Biking this trail many times before, I was all too well aware of the mountain that lie ahead. Sticking its head above the lowlands, it puts a certain uneasiness within about the impending pain. Many people have called me ludicrous for putting myself through these grueling runs. Obviously, they have never known what it is like to chase the small light at the end of the tunnel, working everyday, blisters on the feet and pain in the legs, just to pursue this proverbial light. Yet, as I stepped onto
Greenway Trail that I jog roundtrip numerous times a week. It is a 1.5 mile stretch from the middle of East Setauket to its endpoint in Port Jefferson Station. I am familiar with the trail now and, even after using it for the year since I moved into the community, it still intrigues me on various levels. What fascinates me is the varied topographies – both geographic and cultural – it cuts across. The landscape itself is surprising; after leaving the residential neighborhoods, the trail dips into

was beautiful day and they were hiking on the Appalachian Trail through North Carolina. Both were skilled hikers and rather in shape, but one was very motivated to get all he could out of this hike while the other simply wanted to make it through the hike as best he could. The man that wanted to simply wanted to make it through the hike was not motivated to see or experience anything more than what the hike had to offer just on the trail. The other hiker however was willing to take on whatever
My destination is only six miles to the top. I can do this. My hands begin to shake from the nerves. Our trail guide takes the first steps onto the trailhead, other footsteps begin following close behind. I feel excitement for the challenge I am about to take on. It starts out easy. A few beads of sweat drip on my forehead from the hot beaming sun. I feel the wind breeze on my cheek and I breathe in the smell of fresh mountain air. I hear birds chirping and feet stomping on the rocks. Almost two

The definition of experienced may take many forms. To one, it might be having many years under one’s belt. To another, it could be hiking many peaks in a short amount of time, increasing hours spent on the trails, but not longevity in the activity. An experienced hiker constitutes both of these, both longevity and peaks covered. In any activity, repetition means experience and practice, and hiking is no different. To hike, one must follow an almost religious regiment, keeping calorie intake in the

The Trail of Tears “The Trail of Tears” was a despicable event in American history because of our government’s inhumane treatment of the Cherokee Nation. To the Cherokee Nation, the journey west, called by them “The Trail Where We Cried,” was a bitter pill forced upon them by a state and federal government that cared little for their culture or society, and even less about justice. To the white settlers, it meant expanding horizons, hope, dreams of riches, and a new life. It was indeed

Is hiking the Appalachian Trail right for you? Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air

journey through the woods to their cabin. The cabin, nestled back in the woods overlooking a pond, is something that you would dream about. There is a winding trail that takes you back in the woods were their cabin sits. The cabin sits on top of a mountain raised up above everything, as if it was sitting on the clouds. As I began to walk this trail, I began to recollect the days of when I was a kid playing in the woods, the birds chirping and the squirrels running free. The trees interlocking each other
