Ranching

1860-1880. It is when the railroad made it profitable to raise cattle, but by 1880 the land had been over grazed and too many cattle sent to the stock yards.

Cattle ranching is big business in Brazil because beef is a very popular food. Brazil and Argentina have large pasture areas that are very good for raising beef cattle.

I live in Eugene, Oregon, and it's my understanding that Sam Elliot has a place near Elmira, Oregon. Elmira is west of Eugene, at the base of the Coast Range, near Veneta. I have no independent verification of this, but a friend of mine said that Mr. Elliot occasionally came to his parents' (?) store to buy supplies. I have heard similar stories in the local rumor mill, as well.

I do see Mr. Sam Elliot shopping at Fred Meyer in portland oregon.

I heard that Sam Ellliott lives in the Sweet Home area and been seen on many occasions to frequent the local Taverns there.

Horses are required to supervise, move, and round up the cattle in the vast grazing areas.

Cattle was useful for many things. Farming, and good trade

A public elementary school, that teaches grades k-5. Located in a good community and school district with high standardized test scores.

This would happen through trusts, if any were created, or through probate court if the person left no instructions at all.

Those ranches that have been around for generations tend to have more stories to tell than those ranches that have just started up. But the types of stories differ for each ranch, and each ranch will have a different number of stories from another, so it's very difficult to generalize or even quantify the number of stories all ranches have.

Angela Walker. That was a great episode.

A Ranch hand is just a fancy word for cowboys or cowgirls, basically people, primarily of men (and a few hardy women of course!) who work on a ranch helping with tending to livestock and range management, as well as other duties that are necessary on a working ranch.

John and Yoko bought 122 cows for $1.5 million in 1976-77, 10 bulls for $350,000, real estate for $740,000, and used equipment for $100,000. Their total cash outlay on the $2.7 million deal was $375,000.

I think a lot of it was on the job training. We have lived with and raised cattle for centuries. The novel approach was using a horse to herd and manage the cattle. This was necessary due to the lack of fences and long distances to cover. The Mexicans/Spanish contributed a lot of riding and roping skills to cowboys. The modern American Cowboy really started to develop after the Civil War. As young men returned home they needed a way to make money. Lots of cattle had been let go or escaped from farms during the war. These men had to develop skills to round the cattle up and brand them so they could sell them. Texas is really the birth place of the American Cowboy because of this.

While it is true that Americans found it hard to accept black men as pilots, the blacks proved themselves to be great fighter pilots. Co. George S. "Spanky" Roberts was the first African-American selected for the pilot training in the Air Corps. He was one of the first 5 to receive his Silver Flight Wings. He graduated from 42-C class and became the 1st Commander of the 99th Pursuit Squad. Born 1918, died 1984. TUSKAGEE FACTS: On July 19, 1941, the AAF began an unprecedented program in Alabama to train black Americans to become fighter pilots. The training took place under the Div. of Aeronautics at the Tuskagee Institute, the school created by Booker T. Washington. The first classes trained to be fighter pilots became part of the famous 99th Fighter Squadron, and were slated for combat in North Africa. Later classes were attached to the 322 Fighter Group, which flew combat missions with the 99th from bases in Italy. They were called "Schwartze Vogelmenschen" (Black Bird Men) by the Germans. American Bomber crews referred to them as "Red Tall Angels" because of their reputation of never losing a plane they escorted into combat. The bomber pilots began to appreciate the Redtails. In "Mustang Aces of the 9th and 15th Air Forces," one B-24 pilot recalled: "The P-38's always stayed too far out. Some of the Mustang group stayed in too close .. other groups, we got the feeling that they just wanted to go and shoot down 109s .. the Red Tails were always out there where we wanted them to be .. we had no idea they were black; it was the Army's best kept secret." By the end of WW2, 992 men graduated from the training program. Of those, 450 served in combat overseas, but 150 lost their lives during training or combat fights. Over 15,000 combat sorties (including 6000+ for the 99th prior to July '44) 111 German airplanes destroyed in the air, another 150 on the ground. 950 railcars, trucks, and other motor vehicles destroyed 1 destroyer sunk by P-47 machine gun fire (Lt. Pierson's flight) 66 pilots killed in action or accidents 32 pilots downed and captured, POWs. NO BOMBER LOST WHILE BEING ESCORTED BY THE 332ND, A UNIQUE ACHIEVEMENT 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses earned 744 Air Medals 8 Purple Hearts 14 Bronze Stars *NOTE BY MARCY ... So, in war, or in every day life does it matter the color of one's skin? When someone is saving your butt and keeping you safe we are all brothers and sisters.

Unless you have an unusually "perfect" unit , it is probably worth a couple hundred dollars. But as the saying goes... it is worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it. There are forums for collectors. You may get more information there. See also "Gilson Tractor" as they are the same unit with a different color and name.

Depends on their geographical location and what they were being used for. In Flanders, sandbags rotted quickly due to the damp conditions, while in Gallipoli they could last for the duration. Also, a bag begin used to shelter a machine gun on the front lines will naturally draw take more fire that one being used to shore up the wall of a general's tent.

Yes. They have a paint for exterior metal surfaces.

The Columbian Hardware Company, Cleveland, Ohio also made anvils. In 1926 this company became The Columbian Vise and Mfg. Co. The company made ten sizes of anvils, ranging in size from 10 pounds to 800 pounds. They were very much like the Swedish anvils, being made from electric furnace cast steel. All of their anvils were cast, the face was machined and then hardened, the face was then ground after hardening. All of the Columbian anvils were marked with the letter "C". The company stopped making anvils in 1925.
