All throughout Colorado there has been many developments and expansions. One of these developments is the railroad system. Railroads were and still are such an essential means of transportation for people as well for industries involving coal and fuel, and many other things. There are many key players and developers that took part in revitalizing Colorado in the 1870s. Some of these key players that contributed to the territory’s growth were William A.H. Loveland, Edward L. Berthoud, Henry M. Teller
BIRMINGHAM BOWLING CENTERS The first bowling house in Birmingham is somewhat of a mystery. As happens so many times, it depends on whom you ask. Some say there was a bowling house on 1st Avenue North near the Old Terminal Station; while others say the YMCA had the first, with either two or four bowling lanes located in the YMCA building. It is agreed, however, that the first regularly used bowling center was opened in 1933 and known as The Phoenix Bowling Alley, located in the basement of the Phoenix

Conant High School could go to a different college, with about 1,000 more colleges. It is unfair for the school board to deprive students of this potential benefit that could help their chances in being accepted into a university or college. The Jefferson County Board of Education's committee could potentially bar the students from receiving the future education they've worked so hard attain. The college board has also stated in the framework for teachers that, "Each AP course is modeled upon a comparable
The Declaration of Independence and Constitution’s treatment of equality are different. Let’s start with the differences, the Declaration of Independence is the only document that uses the word equality. It does not have any real legal power. The Constitution add the bill of rights in 1789 and was written by James Madison. Within those bill of rights it states the rights of people and that everyone would not be deprived of “life, liberty or property”. The thing the Constitution missed is that in

Go!," and then the two pulled out their shotguns and began firing, killing two students almost immediately (Jefferson County 3).

While this was happening, Coach Dave Sanders and other heroes were frantically trying to

Ownership of the future states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and part of Colorado were conveyed to the U.S. The acquisition of these additional lands brought with it the difficulty of overland travel for trade and national defense.

States like Colorado, Texas, and Oklahoma have been criticized because of their controversial curriculum revisions. Many public school history curriculums sugarcoat or omit America’s wrongdoings to create a more patriotic America for students; however, the youth of America

My interviewee, was the Lieutenant for the Jefferson Country detention center. Now this is different than a prison, in the sense of length of stay, but the similarities are endless. According to the textbook Corrections an Introduction “one way in which jails and prisons are extremely similar is the

When I say the name Ulysses S Grant, you think the man who won the Civil War, or the man who was sworn in as the 18th President of The United States, or maybe just that guy on the $50 bill. Though many people may have heard of him, many don’t understand how important he is to history. Without Grant, some horrible things could have happened to our country including slavery, no 15th amendment, and black persecution. But before we talk about all that, let's start where it all began, his childhood.
