In the Old West, people were buried in various ways depending on individual circumstances and local customs. Some were buried in traditional cemeteries, while others were laid to rest on family or private property. In more remote areas, bodies were sometimes buried hastily in shallow graves due to limited resources or access to formal burial sites.

The group left too late in the spring, so when they were getting into the mountains the winter snows hit. They were stuck.

The daily life of a cowhand is never the same. Having a schedule when working around cows is like trying to herd cats. All sorts of duties were involved in a day: catching and roping sick or injured cattle, working with horses, watching the herd, making sure no predators took a calf away, etc.

In 1840, there were about 25 million buffalo. By the 1880s, there were only about 1,100 left. The reason for this was because white people started to settle in regions where there were a lot of buffalo. The Indians used to kill a buffalo and use every part of it. When people started to ranch, they needed more land for their animals to graze on, so they killed as many buffalos as they could in order to have more area for grazing. The ranchers actually started to make it a game and would brag about how many buffalos they could kill before breakfast. Also, the ranchers would herd the buffalos off of cliffs because the buffalos weren't smart and would follow whoever was in front of them even if it was off a cliff.

I hope this helps and it is what my textbook says for History class. We're studying this right now and I'm doing a project on it so it's accurate!

The Donners and Reeds left Springfield, Illinois, on April 14, 1846.

They left Independence, Missouri, on May 12, 1846.

However, the Donner Party didn't actually exist until July 19, 1846, when George Donner was elected captain of a newly-formed wagon train.

Traveling afoot, many pioneers spread out across America. Others rode mules, horses, or bought a wagon and joined up with a wagon train. Back then, the Cadillac of wagons was the Conestoga wagon.

George Donner was the leader

The Donner Party took off from Independence, MO too late. Back then, you didn't have any good transpertation system like we do now. So they had to rely on wagons. They couldn't take off too early because the grass was needed the horse/mule/oxen to eat. They couldn't take off too late because they wouldn't be able to cross the Rockys because of the snow. So the timing was very important. The Donner Party took off too late so they got stuck on the Rockys.

b. They traveled along the trail in search of trading opportunities.

Omg people answer the freaking question

Access to markets. Cattle are grown in open rangeland, but there's nobody there who will pay a high price for them. Buyers are in big cities like New York or Chicago.

The fundamental rule of markets is to buy things where they are cheap, and then take them to places where they are expensive and sell them there. The development of the railroads gave people the ability to do just that.

The trail followed by Mormon pioneers mostly paralleled the Oregon Trail, at times merged with it, and at a few points diverged completely from it. The reason for following the general course of the Oregon trail was primarily because it had been mapped out by traders and trappers several years prior to their own exodus from Nauvoo, Ill. However, because of the adversarial relationship between the Mormons and many immigrants from both Illinois and Missouri (where an "extermination order" was still in effect at that time), the Mormon immigrants opted to follow a course that also followed the Platte river, but on the opposite side from most Oregon-bound parties.

Well here is some... Pots and pans,Fire wood,canteens,weapons,fabric,Their religious views,tools,Animals to live off of,Furniture. And They would need to bring animals to farm off of like chickens,cows And horses to pull the wagons! For Clothes they would need Different things for men and women like for women they need:Leggings,hats,coats,shirts. And for men they would need: Pants hats shirts coats shoes/Boots And clothing for their animals too like blankets for the horses in the winter,Hoove wraps. I hope this helps you in what ever you were looking for!

The introduction of barbed wire about 1870, one form by Michael Kelly and improved by Joseph Glidden allowed fence construction where there was not an abundance of other fencing materials is one major reason for the end of the "open range" as property owners had the ability to "fence out" other livestock and not allow open access to their property including fodder and water.

The herding of cattle from Texas to railroad centers to the north was called a cattle drive. Cattle drives took many months to complete. Some of the cowboys would drive the cattle to Kansas and not want to go back to the ranch after being paid. Then ranchers would have to hire more hands the next cattle drive season.

the strike did nothingg

Many people died from bugs, accidents, and types of diseases. Some people probably died from walking, starvation, and dehydration. Babies died from starving to death and some people drowned from swimming across rivers and streams and other deep bodies of water.

They made the stones by hand that say R.I.P.

Because cowboys ranked low on the social scale of the time and because they often lived and worked in remote areas there are no precise figures on how many were of any particular ethnic group or even how many there were over all.

What we usually consider today to be the "cowboy culture" began at the end of the Civil War when Texans began to drive herds north to the rail roads. There had been horse mounted cattle herders before of course all across the South West from Texas to California. Before "White" settlers arrived and the area became part of the US, the cowboys were primarily Mexican, and called vaqueros. The later cowboy culture, tools, and techniques were based on the vaquero culture.

It is estimated that the cowboys who drove the earlier herds north were about 50% white, and 25% Black and Hispanic each. Those figures held pretty constant in Texas, with Blacks perhaps rising to 30% of the total. As ranching spread the percentages depended on the part of the country they were in. Hispanic numbers were higher in the South West and West of the Rockies but lower in the Northern Great Plains. Black numbers were higher in Texas but very low in the North West. The number of blacks decreased the farther north from Texas. These percentages pretty much reflect the general population for time and place. In fact even today the Northern most states from Idaho thru Wyoming and Montana to the Dakotas rank in the bottom six for Black population.

In some areas, the South West and Northern Plains and Mountains, there were small but appreciable numbers of American Indians working as cowboys.

By the end of the "cowboy era" in the 1890's one estimate is that over all, up to a third of cowboys were black, 1/5 to 1/4 were Hispanic, and the rest "Whites" of various national descent.

They still do, there are many cowboys still working in many countries.

There were 87 people not including the teamsters or Indians that travelled with them.
