Saving part of our History I do not believe that we should have slaughter houses open in the United States for wild horses. I think that we should be protecting the animal that America rose in on. We need to save our wild horse population. Wild Horse Annie saw a truck go by hauling some horses and she noticed that blood was dripping out of the back of the trailer, right then she decided that she was going to do something to save the wild horses. She spent the rest of her life trying to protect wild horses.
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that the reason the Lewis and Clark expedition succeed was because of the Natives. The way I will prove my thesis is by discussing the two main tribes that helped which are the Shoshone’s and Nez Perce. They helped with guidance and proving them with the things they needed to succeed there expedition. Lewis and Clark expedition would have been lost without the guidance of the Shoshone’s. In a primary source Lewis writes, “We needed the Shoshones to procure horses from them in order to cross the immense mountains to the west.
Virginia DeJohn Anderson, “King Philip’s Herds: Indians, Colonists and the Problem of livestock in Early New England” In this article Ms. Anderson talks about how livestock (mostly swine) played a critical role toward King Philip’s War of 1675-76. How hostilities, settlers free ranging livestock wandered into native villages and affected them and how the Indians responded to theses encroachments. English colonist imported thousands of cattle, swine, sheep, and horses because they considered livestock essential to their survival. But the animals caused problems to subsistence practices, land use, property rights and political authority. Indians did not want to own domestic animals since livestock husbandry did not fit easily with native practices, the adoption of livestock would alter women’s lives by affecting the traditional division of labor since women were mainly responsible of agriculture production.
Angry cowboys decided to start rustling from the larger ranches. Some rustlers were simply looking for unbranded cattle to collect and start a ranch in which they would find unbranded cattle on other rancher’s property. Other rustlers would rebrand cattle using a running iron with their own brand. Foremen, hired by the rancher, would often participate in rustling also. Since the ranchers trusted their foremen, most ranchers did not stay on their ranch except during shipping season.
La Llorona This is an old tale; swear to be true of the crying ghost, it is a sad story. It is real, because I was the husband of Maria who is now known as the La Llorona. I was a young man tall, handsome, the son of a wealthy rancher from the southern plains. Many say I could ride like a Comanche! In fact, if I owned a horse, and it grew tame, I would give it away and go rope a wild horse from the plains.
This means he’s a credible source to pay attention to and take into consideration. This leader shows his intentions of defending his people to the best of his ability. He changes to third person but talks about himself when he says, “He has fought for his countrymen, the squaws and papooses, against white men, who came, year after year, to cheat them and take away their lands” (qtd. in Drake). In this section, Black Hawk actually uses both ethos and pathos.
Most people shudder at the thought or sight of a Pit Bull and consider them vicious atrocities, but I will show that Pit Bulls are innocent and really are just misunderstood. I would like to give some facts, dispel some myths, and show the side of the breed that the media chooses not to tell. American Pit Bull Terriers were first introduced during World War I and World War II. The job of the Pit Bull was to deliver messages back and forth across the battlefield. Pit Bulls were first bred to bait bulls and bears as a sport back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but soon became more commonly used as house pets due to their friendliness towards people (Brom, 1987-09, p.14).
So who is the man on the pale horse and why would hell follow him? Does Johnny Ringo think it is himself on that horse or does he see someone else on that horse? These questions are answered in this very traditional but fairly modern western that takes place in the nineteenth century and involves shoot-outs, gambling, the seeking of fortune and drinking. Tombstone portrays what most westerns portray; a battle of the lesser evil verses the evil.
This transition caused American settler's living in Texas to seize several of Santa Anna's garrisons, including the Alamo. The author states though that the questionable historical inaccuracies occur when historians and directors try and find out why the Americans decided to stay and fight for the Alamo when there was no clear chance of winning the battle. The 1960's movie suggests it was a fight for freedom for Americans, and therefore could be why the director left out the fact that the fight for defending the Alamo was led by four groups of people, including one group of Mexicans seeking to restore the Mexican Republic. In addition, the author
Some scholars have suggested the Comanche broke away from the Shoshone and moved southward to search for additional sources of horses among the settlers of New Spain to the south (rather than search for new herds of buffalo.) The Comanche may have been the first group of Plains natives to fully incorporate the horse into their culture and to have introduced the animal to the other Plains peoples. [14] By the mid-19th century, the Comanche were supplying horses to French and American traders and settlers and later to migrants passing through their territory on the way to the California Gold Rush. The Comanche had stolen many of the horses from other tribes and settlers; they earned their reputation as formidable horse, and later, cattle thieves. Their stealing of livestock from Spanish and American settlers, as well as the other Plains tribes, often led to war.
