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 late 1800s my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Jackson Green, moved he and his family to Lindale, Georgia. Andrew Jackson Green moved from Ellijay, Georgia to Lindale, Georgia, because there was a new textile mill in town. This new textile mill was looking for employees and Andrew Jackson Green went there looking for a job. When my great-great-grandfather moved to the new mill town he found a job immediately. Since that time, that textile mill has employed four generations of my family. The lives of the four generations of my family entirely revolved around the town in which they lived. The Mill in Lindale, Georgia offered my family great health resources, spiritual avenues, and practical amenities.
During the middle to late 1800's, thousands upon thousands of Americans, as well as foreigners, flocked to the mid-western part of the United States. They flocked to this area hoping to gain free or cheap land promised to them by the United States Government. Most of the "pioneers" left cities and factory jobs to venture out into the American prairies and become farmers. They left their homes, not only because the land was either free or cheap, but also because they wanted to leave the hardships of city life. However, as most would find out, prairie life had its' share of hardships, that far out-reached the hardships of city life. Among these hardships were the death of siblings and friends due to starvation and/or hard work. Pioneers also had to face the stresses and burdens of trying to make a living off of the land. Along with these stress's, they had to worry about how to make money off of the land. All of these hardships, as well as others,
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
...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.
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...
My fondest childhood memories involve the Livermore Rodeo, and I simply cannot remember a day in my life where I was not completely in love with this great rodeo. The 2nd weekend of June has always been my favorite time of year and from a very early age, I wanted to help in any way I could. My whole day was easily made anytime I was given a task that would allow me to help out the wonderful directors and volunteers I dreamed of being when I grew up. Being apart of the group that makes Livermore Rodeo possible was just about the coolest thing little me could dream of… besides being Miss Livermore Rodeo Queen of course! So I started helping with little tasks like tying bows on silverware for the queen dinner, moving chairs, wrapping hot dogs, and trying to sell tickets to all my friends at school. Then a day came where I was lucky enough to be apart of S.P.U.R.S. I had already know that I wanted to spend the rest of my life helping to keep the sport of rodeo and the western way of life alive, S.P.U.R.S gave me the opportunity to start helping out my most favorite rodeo in greater ways at a younger age. Whether in the spotlight as Miss Livermore Rodeo Queen, or behind the scenes cleaning up after an event on a hot summer day, it was, is , and always will be my honor and my pleasure to serve rodeo in any way I can. If I am chosen as the recipient
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.
rural lifestyle and moving to cities where they could find work, but lived substandard lives.
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.
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.
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.
