Shiloh is either in trouble or she has committed suicide while she was at her cabin.
I am predicting that Shiloh, William Raye’s daughter commit suicide while she was in the wilderness of the boundary waters. I think she did that because overall she was really depressed. She has had a major drug use problem in the past. She has tried taking her life in the past so I think that she has done it again because she is really stressed and sad about her life: “See, Shiloh been under the care of a physiatrist for a while. Drug abuse, depression. She’s tried suicide before. When the letters stopped . . .” (Krueger 16). She also is under care of a psychiatrist for her depression.

They wanted to know where she was and the old Indian told her that there was an old cabin out in the forest where she might be. The cabin was by the water and it was a long trek to get there, but that didn’t stop them. Cork found the cabin, but knew he had to be cautious for the kidnappers. William could see Shiloh through the window so they ran inside where they found the two men. William drew his pistol incase they tried to make a move; they made them put their guns on the floor. One reached for the gun and Cork hit him with the barrel of the gun knocking him out, as that was happening the other man tried to get his gun, as William shot him in the

    In November 22 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated; two bullets got him, one in the head and another in the neck. Lee Harvey Oswald was the main suspect for the assassination and a commission to investigate the matter concluded that Oswald was acting alone.

Killing the main suspect only meant one thing; that the death of the key suspect denied Americans a fair criminal justice process that would have brought closure for a public trial.

With such animosity between whites and Native Americans during 1864, Indian civilizations became substantially extinct. With the rising popularity and value of mining gold during 1864 and the years following shortly after, soldiers and white Americans increasingly began to overtake the Native Americans homes, reservations, food supply, and everything they owned. Because of these heightening issues between the common white man and Native Americans, larger issues were beginning to arise, ultimately kick starting the process of a mass extinction for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians. The Sand Creek Massacre was…

    In the early morning of November 29, 1864, elements of the first and third Colorado volunteer regiments surprised hundreds of Cheyenne and Arapaho people camped on the banks of Sand Creek in southeastern Colorado Territory. That day, more than 150 Cheyennes and Arapahoes, the vast majority of them being women, children, and elderly men nominally under U.S. protection, were slaughtered by the Colorado volunteer regiments.
