Their population grew to about 45 million in 1492 (Christopher Columbus arrived in America) and they were situated in the valleys of the Andes. Tribes of Native Americans spread across the land, depending on nature for food and shelter. In California, the mild climate meant that tribes there had plenty to eat, unlike the extremely dry Great…

During the expedition, they encountered numerous groups of people who resulted in helping the men on their travels. The first group they encountered was the Shoshone Indians in Montana who knew how to traverse the “great rock mountains with horses.” It was Clark who, with experience as a soldier and in the outdoors, kept the expedition going, encouraging and helping men who were falling behind. The men…

When delving into history books, two prominent names stand out and are universally known. Those two names are Lewis and Clark. While both gentlemen have a background in the military, they are predominately known for their historic expedition along the Mississippi River to the Coast of Oregon in what is widely known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Death Valley was discovered by a party of pioneers heading to California in 1849. Prior to their discovery the Timbisha Shoshone Indians had lived in the area for centuries. The first white settlers in the area where Andrew Laswell and Cal Mowery and where the first to use irrigation for crops in the area. Mining began in Death Valley after the discovery of silver and many boomtowns started to appear in the area. The mining lasted for about a century, but many of the mines did not produce high…

One other crucial task that was done in Franklin that provides the town as a representation of other settlements in the valley was the type of protection that was used to protect the settlers. While the main valley militia unit was stationed in Logan, each settlement, including Franklin had their own group of minute men. In Franklin, the minute men were composed of all able-bodied men who were capable of being ready in the event of danger, and each man in the militia had his own horse and rifle.…
