The Mission San Xavier Del Bac is a centuries old Spanish Mission located just outside of Tucson on the Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation. I learned from Wikipedia that the original Mission was actually located two miles away, and founded by a Jesuit missionary named Eusebio Francisco Kino in 1692. Unfortunately, the Mission at this time was very vulnerable to attacks, and was eventually destroyed by Apaches in 1770. According to a pamphlet that I picked up at the Mission itself, in 1783, Juan Bautista Velderrain borrowed 7,000 pesos from a rancher and began the church that we see today. He utilized lime mortar and kiln fired brick, along with masonry vaults and detail that would rival any church in what is today Mexico.

"The State of Deseret" petitioned the U.S. government to admit Deseret as a state. Instead, Congress made it a territory, named it Utah, and elected Brigham Young as governor. During Young's presidency as governor, the U.S. government found polygamy unacceptable.

The Monarchy of Spain ruled the land because of Spanish conquistadors who initially staked claim to the land in the name of Spain. This rule of the people of Middle America lasted from 1492 to 1898: over 400 years. Spain's colonial structure was created to introduce the Christian religion to new people and to take advantage of the trade. Spain ruled over what is now Mexico, California, and most of Central America (200-201). A clear cultural impact on Middle America is the main language.
ACA 111 13 February 2012 The Mexican culture is full of religious traditions and proud traditional holidays which span over 500 hundred years. My writing assignment will cover the Mexican religious traditions and holidays.

The old gas station had been remodeled, the gas pumps had been removed, and the large sign above the small building read "OIL AND LUBE-- $10 and 10 MINUTES." For two hours, Dick observed the converted gas station from a restaurant across the street. During the next month, Dick made three trips to Los Angeles to talk to the owner, George, about how he got into the business and how the business worked. Dick paid George $1,000 for his advice and information and promised never to compete directly with George or ever to open or operate a similar type of business in the Los Angeles area. After talking to his lawyer and accountant, Dick started to organize a new business--Kwik Lube.

Cunningham was appointed was appointed as the first city Marshall (the position now known as Chief of Police) and was given two deputies to enforce the law. The city did not have a building for a police station or jail, so in May of 1850, the ship LaGrange, was moored at the foot of H Street on the river and officially became the police station and jail boat (SACPD, 2012). As modern police developed by Sir Robert Peel also known as the “father” of modern policing as stated by (Walker and Katz, 2011, Chapter 2), the peeler reform was developed as the first modern police force and officers are still known as “bobbies” in honor of Peel.
In the bill, Texas gave up all the land that today makes up Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. They received ten million dollars for it.
