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…

live in western North Carolina, but my relatives used to live in the more southern states til they got forced on the Trail Of Tears by Andrew Jackson’s troops. That wasn’t fair. The Cherokee brought the situation to supreme court and the judge was on their side. Andrew Jackson was greedy for land and didn’t listen to the judge . He still sent the native americans on the Trail Of Tears. I really don’t like him. I’d love to hear about you, but let me tell you about me first. 1 thing to know is…

dirty face. Every other second I hear the buzz of incoming mosquitos like tiny fighter jets preparing for an airstrike, thrumming. The trail beneath my damp sneakers is compact despite the previous days’ rains. My watch beeps, and I fish it out of my breast pocket to reset the time. The timer is set for 45 minutes. That’s how long I’ve been on this trail, portaging. For those of you who don’t know, portaging is the act of carrying gear and boats from one body of navigable water to the…

Ladies and gentleman- I am here today to make an argument on whether or not I feel there should be a monument to pioneers on the Oregon trail. Over the past few days, I have grappled with several questions such as: are these people American heroes? Are they deserving of memorialization forever? Do their strengths, overcome their weaknesses? I searched for answers by reading many letters, journals, and the like, as well as striving to understand what affects the pioneers had on the west. I have…

Native Americans would soon follow. In addition to being forced off their land, they trekked through snow with limited food and supplies for weeks as thousands died. This was the beginning of a long journey that would later be called the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears is one of America’s darkest moments, when greed became more important than human lives.
