In spring, their paths converge near wooden columns marking the start of the 2,060 -mile journey that traverses the spine of the Sierra Mountains to the Canadian border. Both the…

Elliott West’s The West Before Lewis and Clark begins by emphasizing how Lewis and Clark’s expedition to the West is important to the American narrative of westward expansion, but their story does not encapsulate the whole of western exploration. To prove this, West recounts the lives of three figures in history. The notable common characteristic between these three people is that they all explored or lived in the West, almost a century and a quarter, before Lewis and Clark set off on their…

I live in a bowl full of peas, literally I am surround full of hills that metaphorically always reminded me of a bowl. The San Fernando Valley was always filled with peas which were people that generally are the same but not as exact; a big chucky of the population were all Hispanic but not all were the same.

he Hopi are a tribe of Native American people residing in Arizona that are traditionally organized into matrilineal clans. Women have a great deal of authority within their society and hold the most important offices within the Hopi settlement. Although in the West the fathers usually deal with discipline, the women of the Hopi society are the ones that enforce rules and disciplines when their children do not obey. In matrilineal societies, while a mother normally takes care of her children, in…

Adolph Coors set up a brewery company in Colorado in 1873. (Coorslight.com) One of the beers that they produced was Coors Light. “Although, with the declining market in the brewing companies Coors light was able to continue to increase its sales and was able to see revenues climbing by 4.3 percent in the past year to $2.2 billion.” (Lamb, Hair, & McDaniel, 2014) It is interesting to see that Coors Light has not changed any of the manufacturing process or the product itself, but was able…

He is originally from a farm town, so in order to be able to buy these rights, he “blends in” as a country men. While gathering the town people, a science teacher warns about the dangers of drilling and how…

I believe in truth. And in the pursuit of truth. When I was ten years old, I asked a neighborhood kid who was older than me: Which city is further west: Reno, Nevada or Los Angeles, California? The correct answer is Reno, Nevada. But he was convinced that it was the other way around. He was so convinced that Los Angeles was west of Reno that he was willing to bet me two bucks. I went into the house to get my Rand McNally Atlas. (When I was nine I had spent hours with a rectangular reading…

Death of the Colorado Small Business, Due to the Death of the Honeybee Charles Darwin, once said, “The life of man would be extremely difficult if the bee disappeared”. Humans have depended on agriculture, as a source of food, since the Neolithic Era. Back then humans didn’t know much about how, or why things grow, or taste the way they do. Pollinators such as the honeybee, played a huge part in helping those early crops along, and have carried the burden pollination and production since…
