Wagon Train Short Story
We actually bumped into a really nice family at the general store. They are the Wrights. The mother was very humble and asked if they would please be a part of our struggling wagon train. We gladly agreed because we were actually looking for one. Speaking of wagon train, we actually offered this other family a spot on this new wagon train about a week later. It did not get off to a very good start. Carol got into a fight with our neighbor’s son.

    Campos: Story Of The Trolley Dodgers

    The first article was about the Trolley Dodgers. In 1890, they joined the National League. Unfortunately, for them they did not have the finances to compete with teams like the New York Yankees.

In 1997, the team was sold for 350 million dollars to Rupert Murdoch. In the closeout interview by Peter O’Malley (the former owner), he was grateful for all the employees that worked for him, especially Edward Campos. Little did O’Malley know Campos was committing significant fraud.…

    "The Tube Train" by Cyril E.Powers

    When I was skimming pages when I saw this big painting the one that caught my eye right away. "The Tube Train" by Cyril E.Powers about 1934 (pg.203). I was so fascinated with this image, the urban theme and the nice colors. I notice the use of complementary colors; most of the picture is done in yellows and dark violets and reds which are all on opposite sides of the color wheel.…

    Challenges Of Traveling To California For The California Gold Rush

    One of the challenges that travelers faced was the long journey. “There were wagons of every kind, including well-built covered wagons and simple, open carts. Usually they were pulled by oxen, but some pioneers used mules. Not everyone sat in a wagon or cart. Some rode mules, and some even walked. From Missouri to Utah, the trip was generally uneventful. Several female pioneers wrote that despite the hardships, it was a "perfect pleasure trip.” (Ferne 4) Not everyone got to ride a wagon or a cart. Or…

    Jilt Whitman Analysis

    We reach the Dalles before getting the Oregon City. Here we have to Barlow Road around Mt. Hood. We have barely any food left, every animal is near done, and people in our wagon train are starting to get sick. We are also low on money, but we have to pay a toll to go on the Barlow Road. We do not have enough money to pay for this because we need at least a little bit of money to start, so we have to get them to compromise, maybe pay $1.50 and give them one of our nice pans and something that Larry bought from the blacksmith shop. It took some convincing, but they gave in and we got through. Barlow Road is really rough and bumpy. It is knocking our things around and hurting our feet. Our feet are badly, badly blistered. It is so narrow that our wagon barely fits. We cannot walk next to our wagon, we have to either walk…

These songs functioned as explicit expressions of resistance, encoding messages about the secret gatherings or carrying directions for escaped slaves. “The Underground Railroad (UGRR) helped slaves to run to free a country.
