American Old West

The first Americans began to trickle into Indiana in the 1790s. Probably most first made their way from the vicinity of New York City to Philadelphia, either by going overland across New Jersey, or by ship, from New York down to the mouth of the Delaware River, then up that River to Philadelphia. From Philadelphia there was a wagon road across southern Pennsylvania to Pittsburg. From Pittsburg most would have floated down the Ohio River on flatboats to Indiana. The southern border of Indiana is the Ohio River. People in western New York could go by boat from the Buffalo area, by way of Lake Eire, and either get off near Toledo and go west for about 60-70 miles and cross into Indiana or stay on the Great Lakes and sail around, past Detroit into Lake Huron, then south down Lake Michigan to the vicinity of Gary, Indiana. This route by way of the Great Lakes became more accessible after the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, which made it possible to travel by water all the way from New York City to Buffalo, and then on to any place on the Lakes.

In the Old West, law enforcement was often carried out by a mix of local sheriffs, marshals, and vigilante groups, as formal law enforcement was sparse. Sheriffs were typically elected officials responsible for maintaining order in towns, while U.S. Marshals handled federal law enforcement in the territories. Vigilante groups sometimes took matters into their own hands when they felt official law enforcement was inadequate. The effectiveness and legitimacy of these enforcers varied widely, leading to a complex and often violent legal landscape.

While the United States certainly received some territories from the British (that had been previously stolen from the Native Americans), there are significant amounts of territories that the US government stole from the Native Americans as well.

One of the British conditions of settlement was the Proclamation of 1763, which required that colonists only settle east of the Appalachian Mountains. The territory allocated to the US in 1783 stretched from the coast to the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, nearly 1000 kilometers further west than the British proposed boundary of settlement. When those western territories were under British control, they were kept exclusively for Native American use with the exception of guard posts and forts. When they shifted to the United States, they became areas of White American settlement which ousted the Natives and forced a number of tribes either into open warfare with the Whites or a forced flight west of the Mississippi River. Of course, it only took until 1803 for the United States to acquire (from France) the west bank of the Mississippi River as well as much of the Great Plains areas. These two were settled by White Americans and stripped of their native populations through acts of violence and warfare. This repeated again after the United States conquered the southwest from Mexico in 1848 and "won" the Oregon territory in 1853. There was an incredible amount of violence perpetrated by the US government or that of the States individually against the Native American Tribes to strip them of their land and culture. Some highlights include: Trail of Tears, the Wars Against the Seminoles, Wounded Knee, the Homestead Act, etc.

One of the female outlaws is a woman who is in purple clothing that you can find in the beginning of Poptropica when you go to Dos Cactos and into the casino. When you enter the casino, she is on the second floor near the cashier stand.

It isn't known.

They weren't. None of the known members of the mob that killed Joseph Smith were in the Donner Party.

The Donner Party did have two families which had connections to Mormonism. There has been some disagreement as to whether they were practicing Mormons or if they had left the religion at an earlier time, but none of them were party to the murder of Joseph Smith.

Life in the ranch hands was pretty depressing for some. Many got bored quick, though many enjoyed working at the ranch. Many of the ranchers actually had to leave due to suffering from depression which is terrible.. but yet again so is working at a ranch I suppose! life in the 1930s wasn't great at all. However, people made their own fun, like playing board games, playing cards, or making stuff and getting creative.

The men ALWAYS dreamed of having the biggest D. An American dream was a piece of land or plot which they could grow crops or breed animals and naughty stuff like that.

Just use your imagination. Imagine working in hay full of animals (pigs, puppies, cows, rabbits, etc.) I like pigs

A series of fires, blizzards, and droughts occured, but also, ranchers crowded the open range with cattle, prices dropped big time, and then ranchers faced and increase of competition, and then barbed wire was patented.
