Eventually after about 20 minutes of driving, Brayden pulls onto a dirt road. Looking around, all I see is acre upon acre of flat grazing land. I look in awe of the…

land proved to be a common problem for both. The conditions out in the Midwest were difficult, to say the least. The summers were harsh and dry and the winters were extremely cold. The land lacked nearby water and was not nearly as fertile as the land back in the East. For ranchers, this led to overgrazing land and a large portion of their cattle dying off in the winters in the 1890s (“Western Movement”). Ranchers were primarily located in Texas (Slatta); whereas, most Exodusters were led to…

The past two summers we worked on a Montana Cattle Ranch. The Stucky Ranch is one of three ranches featured in an Animal Planet documentary series titled, "The Last American Cowboy". This three generation, 20,000 acre family ranch, maintains a traditional old fashioned working lifestyle by preferring to use horses over ATVs, baling hay with buck-rakes and stacking it with beaver slides. After having watched the series, we contacted them and landed ourselves summer jobs. This adventure was…

After the Civil War, many people moved to the Far West due to its wet and lush territory, high mountains, flat plains, treeless prairies and great forests. These different societies that developed in the “Far West” included the Western Tribes, the Spanish, Chinese immigrants and white settlers.
