Beginnings to 1865, Holt McDougall states that the first people crossed the bering land bridge from Russia to modern day Alaska. Boats may have been used to cross bering strait after the land bridge disappeared. The people were ice age hunters who followed their food southward then throughout north america. The Maritime theory states that early humans traveled by boats along the west coast of the Americas, boat hopping from one place to another beginning in Russia all the way down to…

This gave rise to the Coastal route theory to which Simon Fraser University Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology states, “The coastal route hypothesis is based on the idea that the first people to inhabit North America traveled by boat down the Pacific coast, living in areas of ice-free land, called refugia, along the way. They may have hunted some land animals, but they also would have fished and hunted sea mammal.” Those that believe in the Coastal migration…

immigrants on the U.S. Did you know that Irish immigrants consisted of half of all immigrants who came to America looking for better opportunity? They have impacted the U.S in all different types of areas. These immigrants strongly participated in the Civil war, brought many important cultural changes, and more man power to increase construction across America. Without the Irish immigrants America wouldn’t be what it is today. In fact they helped the U.S. develop as a country and a main…

The act of bridge building has changed the course of the world. Without bridges we wouldn’t be able to cross large bodies of water that previously prevented us from growing as a nation and expanding into worlds we once thought was held back from us. The construction of a bridge does more than link two pieces of land together. It exemplifies the notion that we will not be held back by the power of mother nature. While also changeling us to expand into realms through creativity and reason. The…

citizens and also citizens of other nations when spying is unwarranted, Americans tend to distrust their government. Those from other countries are less inclined to trust America and even their own government for getting involved with a nation that is dishonest. Nobody likes to be accused of something that they did not do and America is no exception. Trust is lost and enemies are created when a nation fosters deception and chooses to spy on those who do not deserve it, whether it be a country,…

just detoured down another trail, a route far more serpentine and arduous than the wrong turns he’d taken since retreating from K2. ‘I will build a school,’ Mortenson said. ‘I promise’” (Mortenson and Relin, 2006, p. 33). When Mortenson returns to America, he works ceaselessly to earn money to build a school for the children of Korphe. After the school is completed, Jean Hoerni, Mortenson’s main sponsor, decides to sponsor his charity, the Central Asia Institute, which builds schools in…

2014 Braving Bridges “Yet I had come here […] to bridge the things here to things there, to rewrite the present so as not to write off the past.” — André Aciman, Shadow Cities Bridges are structures connecting two separate entities, sometimes extending over vast abysses of things unknown: ravines and obstacles that often frighten the traveler. They provide the crosser with the thought of safety, connecting the terrifying rift conjoining two different places. Similar to the way a bridge connects…
