Frontier

nearing completion as surveys of the federal government were exploring, mapping and bringing back to an eager public audience the wonders of geysers, fogged peaks, and miles and miles of treeless plains. The last and perhaps most wondrous area of the frontier to be explored lay south in the arid canyonlands of thePlateau Region — The Colorado River and its Grand Canyon. Unlike many of the inhabited regions in…

In the increasingly divided American world, people distinguish themselves based upon skin tones. People would accuse one another of being rapists, terrorists, thieve, and robbers upon the sole basis of skin tone alone. As a part of the minority community, there was always the pressing fear of being criminalized for an act that we did not commit, yet paradoxically, this same trouble is also the fuel that continues to drive the minority community forwards to surpass the socioeconomic niche in life…

expedition was co-lead by Captain Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. As the President Thomas Jefferson was debating on if he should send an expedition, Meriwether was his private secretary. Thomas Jefferson knew Lewis served in the military, had frontier experience, and was a great pathfinder. These skills and trust helped Thomas Jefferson to pick Lewis as the leader of the expedition, and Lewis was able to pick his co-leader. Lewis knew his choice would be his old militia commander, William…

that like Chris some of them were athletic and succeeded in school. Another similarity that they share is that Chris and Ruess were both inspired by authors. Not only were they inspired by authors, but authors who wrote about living in the Last Frontier or in the wild. The last similarity I observed was that all the men shared the same desire and longing to live outside of society's standards. They didn’t want to live a perpetual lifestyle in civilization, they wanted to experience what it was…

After independence from Mexico and annexation by the United States, Bastrop County was no longer the ragged edge of the wild frontier. Above all, the railroads brought increased prosperity and culture to Bastrop as they did to most locations across the nation. Troupes of players, singers, and dancers followed the rails from location to location on a performance circuit. Some, like the King and the Duke in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, did not follow a specific circuit or…

IN a literary epoch when the dominant field of action was the frontier settlement, the forest, and the fort, Hawthorne fo- cussed on the world of moral imagination. His "Young Goodman Brown" (1835) is a paradigm of this particular world, and Brown's behavior on a fateful night in his life is the key to this haunting tale. Although the motives for Goodman Brown's behavior are ambiguous, the consequences of his compulsive acts are clear but frightening. It is truly an enchanted forest into…

Westerns have come a long way since the silent film days and the original western, The Great Train Robbery in 1903. Today, modern technology has allowed westerns to become more thrilling, more daring, and more action packed than ever before, and none of this is more true than for Django Unchained(2012) directed by Quentin Tarantino and the TV show Firefly(2002), created by Joss Whedon.

fighting the French and Indians, he still followed through, according to his duties, and did what he had to do. Washington led his men through the French and Indian War, the Battle of the Wilderness, and defended against Indian attacks to the Colonial Frontier. To be given the rank of Colonel, only to have it ripped away, despite all he had done, must have cut deep into his soul, along with the loss of pride when demoted in such a way. In the end, he was treated like many of the men he had…
