American Old West

Being able to brand your cows so that they could be identified and fencing off land so cattle were not lost were two things that helped make cattle ranching so profitable in the late 1800s. Railroads helped cut the transportation costs.

The Western Arms Corp was created by Ithaca Gun Company in 1929 to introduce a new, low cost double barrel shotgun. The new gun was called the Long Range Double. They also made the Long Range Double Deluxe which was usually made exclusively for the Montgomery Ward Company and sold by them under the name Western Field Deluxe.

Chisholm Trail. (:

No. Every mile was dangerous. Each year the wagon trains started in late April or early May. Timing was crucial. If they left too early they might not find enough grass to feed the livestock. Too late they could be stranded in the mountains by snow. The Oregon Trail was little more than a pair of wheel ruts across 2400 miles of prairie land. They faced deep rivers, rapids, and had to ford these with the wagons. Often, the animals or wagons would be washed down river or get stuck. The first weeks on the trail were the easiest. Wagons had fresh supplies, the animals were sleek and happy, the land was flat and the days were nice. Soon, though, they would face violent rainstorms, winds, and top heavy wagons were blown over by the winds. Everything would get wet. As they got to the Rockies the trail became harder and they struggled with the loads on the wagons. Soon they had to dump household items to lighten the loads. Half of the people were now ill and bounced along in wagons. Many walked the entire route. Those going to CA had to cross the deserts of Utah and Nevada and pull themselves up the Sierra Nevada mountains. They were overcome by heat, tired, and animals would drop dead in the yoke, food supplies ran low, and wagons would go over the side of a mountain pass. Babies were born on the trail and many died, accidents and disease killed people. After 6-8 months they finally got to CA.

Most Christians celebrate a "Harvest Festival" in their churches at the end of the harvest season to thank God for his bounty and to celebrate the successful bringing in of the harvest. These celebrations may be followed by a "Harvest Supper'.

Hindus celebrate "Pongal" in January each Year, the Jews "Sukkot" in September or October and the Buddhists celebrate Harvest Festivals at various times of the year depending on the country. Strangely, Muslims do not appear to have any specific festival to thank God for a bountiful harvest.

"Thanksgiving" is often used in North America for the Christian Festival and in England sometimes one finds the old fashioned name of "Harvest Home".

In houses, on the sand, and sometimes under the front porch of the tavern if they'd had a long night. With regards to sleeping locations.... There's no specific difference between then and now aside from the increase in civilization.

June 1847 is the day that it ended.The month and the year is known ,but the date in the month is unknown.I had checked it in websites but it didn't say what date it ended.

It didn't bring an end to the cattle boom, but rather began the end before it started. The Civil War had just started over a year ago when this act was passed in Congress, so it had, at the time, no effect on the cattle boom because, even at that time, the "cattle boom" hadn't even began. The boom or demand for beef in the American economy didn't reach its peak until after the war, where war veterans and other folks headed west with high profits in sight when the demand for beef back East had skyrocketed. They took those cattle that were accumulating in the southwestern portion of the United States, branded them, claimed ranch land to begin raising the cattle on, and hired work-ready men to herd the excess stock north to the markets.

But, with the end of the war came the drive west for pioneers and their families. They began to settle land wherever they could, and made it so that rouge cattle or open-range cattle couldn't graze or ruin their land, and this was made possible through the beginning of the use of barbed wire fences. The more settlers that came in and the more land became settled, the harder it was to drive cattle north to markets without running into conflicts. Also, with more settlers came more cattle through importations from European countries and introduction of new breeds, such as Hereford and Aberdeen Angus, two of the beef breeds that made their stake in America long after the Spanish Criollos were imported to America in the late 1400's. With more cattle, came less demand and prices went down. And when prices go down, it brings an end to the cattle boom to the American West.

In the Old West, pay for soldiers in the U.S. Cavalry typically ranged from $13 to $25 per month, depending on rank and experience. Privates earned around $13, while higher ranks, such as sergeants, received more, potentially up to $25. Additionally, soldiers often faced deductions for food, clothing, and other necessities, which impacted their take-home pay. Overall, the compensation was modest and often supplemented by other forms of income or bounties.

One of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's major achievements was the implementation of the New Deal, a series of programs and reforms aimed at addressing the economic devastation of the Great Depression. The New Deal included initiatives such as Social Security, the establishment of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the creation of jobs through public works projects. These measures helped to stabilize the economy, provide relief to millions of Americans, and lay the groundwork for the modern welfare state. Roosevelt's leadership during this challenging period fundamentally transformed the role of the federal government in economic and social affairs.

Yes, there were a number of survivors, maybe half of the original complement. It is a tragic accident of history to call this incident a Party, which usually is something joyful and upbeat, not extreme hunger, survival problems- and cannibalism.

A cowboy typically rounds up cattle from breeds such as Angus, Hereford, and Holstein, which are commonly found in North American ranching. These breeds are often raised for beef or dairy production. The rounding up process is essential for managing herds, ensuring their health, and facilitating tasks like branding or vaccination. Cowboys use horseback riding and herding techniques to effectively gather and move the cattle.
