Globeville’s early history is interwoven with that of both Denver and Colorado’s beginnings. In the summer of 1858 a small amount of gold was discovered in the South Platte River near Cherry Creek and forged the beginnings of the city of Denver (Denver). Hoping to strike it rich, tens of thousands of people rushed into Denver within only one year’s time (H). Denver’s gold rush turned to bust and by 1860 most the miners either headed to gold boom towns, such as Central City, in the mountains or went
Analysis of Lucy Gayheart by Willa Cather Lucy Gayheart is a young, spirited, intelligent music student from Havorford, on the South Platte River. In the winters, she attends a conservatory in Chicago, under the tutelage of Professor Auerbach. In Chicago, she lives in a room above a German bakery, where she takes her breakfasts and suppers. These small quarters do not distress her; indeed, she craves the solitude of her own will, her own piano, her own bed. She walks hungrily through Chicago,
not content to simply dream. These few courageous young lads were willing to take the risks of sea travel to find out for themselves if the rumors were true. Thus, the men made their arrangements and braved the howling gales and icy waters of the North Atlantic in search of their destiny. Joseph Howse was amongst the men who chased their dreams through the rigorous demands of the inhospitable landscape of Prince Rupert’s Land. Howse may have shared their enthusiasm about what lay ahead in the New
settlement trends, and happens to be amidst two very large-scale rivers. Having been quite convenient for transportation and trading purposes, it seemed like a great location for a city. Fast-forward to the year 1950, the people canoeing to work on top of water reaching 4.5 meters deep in lower areas of the city (Passfield, 2001), resentful feelings began to arise. Ultimately leading to the proposals and implementation of the Red River Floodway. Floods the biggest geological challenge that Winnipeg

France, Norway, Sweden, and other European countries landed on the east coast, as they flocked to our country. When it became crowded, they moved west using the waterways and rivers for transportation. Much of the land was still wilderness. Many traveled up the Mississippi River and along the Red River, settling in the Red River Valley. To stimulate growth inland, the Homestead Act was initiated. Many traveled overland by horse and wagon on rutted trails and grassland to find a plot of 160 acres of

He tells Lyman that “It’s no use” (189) and that he is giving him the car. Henry knows he will not being going home with Lyman tonight. After Henry jumps in to the river he calmly states “my boots are filling” (140) before he goes under the last time. Lyman is frantic and goes in after him.

Henry, are brothers. The story starts by telling us about how the two brothers acquired a red convertible. Henry ends up being drafted into the Vietnam War, and comes back home suffering from PTSD. One day the pair decided to take a drive to the Red River because Henry wanted to see the high water. Ultimately, the story ends with a cliff-hanger, and we are left wondering what happens to the boys. The symbolic nature of the red convertible will play a key role in this literary analysis, along with underling
The story of “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich, and the play “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell share many similar characteristics. Such as, the theme of death along with the symbolism of freedom. The bond between the characters Lyman and Henry, are the same bond that Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Peters had throughout the play. Even though Lyman and Henry were brothers, their close companionship was ultimately brought together by buy the convertible. The same goes for the women in the play of
the trade was conducted as until the early 1800s, most trades outside of Santa Fe, Chihuahua city, or other specified locations in the states were forbidden, leaving many jailed in Mexico for the attempt. The Spanish would continue trading, as far north as Wyoming until 1821 when Mexico would
establish on the Great Plains. The Pawnee came up from their inherited home of Mississippi and east Texas, by the Gulf of Mexico. The Pawnee then established on the Republican, Platte, and Loup rivers, located in current day Nebraska. This area was great for living because it had an ample supply of prey, rich soil, and plenty of rivers/lakes for water. Being one of the few tribes on the Great Plains they had more than enough food and water, meaning that the Pawnee population would exceed 35,000 people.

The authors; Abbott, Leonard, and Noel explain on page 6 of the textbook, what they meant about Colorado being the meeting grounds. According to the authors, Colorado is also sectioned and is connected to the three major sections in the US through the great rivers and mountain ranges. The Southwest portion of the

forget how we acquired the land we live on today, and take it for granted. Before the founding fathers, pilgrims, and even Christopher Columbus there was already a nation occupying North America. This nation was unique because it was not just one sovereign state, it was thousands of unique tribes that co existed in North America. One of the most prominent tribes was the Lakota tribe. The Lakotas were not only one of the greatest tribes, they also suffered the most at the hands of the new Americans

Wyoming-Colorado Border Wars Deep in the heart of the American West lie two of the largest, most rugged, beautiful states in the nation, both of which have long been engaged in a heated rivalry. North and South from one another, Wyoming and Colorado have been at a border war since before either even gained statehood. With 97,195 square miles, Wyoming is the 10th largest of all 50 states. While the state is vast in land, it is scarce in population. As of 2005, a mere 509,294 residents inhabit
