Andersonville was a Confederate prison built in 1864 at Andersonville, Georgia. It was designed to hold Union prisoners of war during the Civil War. It was official named was Camp Sumter, however it’s better known as Andersonville. It was built from the ground up by local slave labor. At the time it was 10 ½ acres long and designed to hold about 10,000 men. The camp was enclosed out of 15 to 17 inch hewed pine logs. Along the walls were guard towers (referred to as pigeon roosts by the inmates) placed every 90 feet around the stockade walls.

In Bolivar County, Mississippi, stands Mound Bayou, one of the first black towns in the U.S. It is located twenty-eight miles southwest of Clarksdale, Mississippi. It was founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery and his cousin Benjamin T. Green. Both Montgomery and Green were former slaves. They both were formerly owned by Joseph Emory Davis, a lawyer turned successful planter & the older brother/mentor to Jefferson Davis, the former President of Confederacy.

The creek in a sense is the symbol for change itself. Alexie uses the character of the aunt, Nezzy, to reveal how bad her life is on the reservation. Her husband is a drunk and has gotten into reoccurring car accidents, as indicated on page 79, “‘where am I’ ‘The hospital’ ‘Again?’ Yeah, again’”. After she gave birth to her son, had her tubes tied unwillingly by the doctors, to prevent her from having any more kids. They lied to her to get her to agree to have her tubes tied. They told her it was to prove she was Indian, but in reality, it was a dishonest trick. Alexie shows that Nezzy's husband and son are very demanding, for she says, “you’re just a couple of ungrateful shits” (Alexie 77). They take advantage of her. They just let her do everything and don't think that they need to do anything to help her. Her husband and son also don't help her. She asks on page 77 why the son didn't help her, and the son couldn't stop laughing. This is the point Nezzy realizes that she needs change. The creek represents change. It represents the washing away of the bad stuff and carrying it far away. Creeks never rest and they never stop changing. Creeks and rivers change the scenery and the landscape around them, they do the likewise for people, washing away the weights and the corrupt things of people to create something new.

Dry Creek station was likely built in the spring of 1860 by Bolivar Roberts and his crew. It was one of the last stations to be built by the Pony Express. It is located four miles north of Highway 50, in Lander County, Nevada. The station was used by the Pony Express and Overland Stage as a home station (historic). The Pony Express riders would go from Dry Creek westward to the north (expedition.com). The riders had a high chance of getting attacked by the Native Americans and this proved to be true at Dry Creek. They had early problems with the Indians, which caused an attack on the workers of the station on May 21, 1860. On this day William Streeper, a carrier of heavy mail and two others found the scalped and mutilated body of the station

This photo was taken more than 100 years later and quite a bit further upstream, just south-east of St. Clair and Spadina. There, the brook runs through the Nordheimer Ravine, named after the family who used to own the land. Samuel Nordheimer made his fortune importing pianos and then married Edith Boulton of the super-crazy-important Boultons: one of the first families to move here when the city was founded, they were leaders of the Family Compact and the people who built the Grange. In the 1870s, the newlywed Nordheimers built a mansion on the hill overlooking the ravine and damned the brook at this spot to create a little pond and waterfall.

The Yadkin River starts at Blowing Rock which is in the county of Watauga. The location where the river starts is an immense cliff that is 4000 feet above sea level which is overhanging Johns River Gorge. After starting there the river it flows southeast through Caldwell County; however then it changes direction going northeast making the river go through Wilkes County and then going along the boundaries of counties like Surry-Yadkin, Davidson-Rowan, and others. It goes through North Carolina draining towns like Lexington, Salisbury, and Winston-Salem. The

Although it will take a lot of time and effort to rectify the conditions at Newtown Creek, the variety in the recommendations from all the groups shows how many options are available to go about it. Some of the ideas need some more foresight in accounting for all three pillars. For example, it is not always a good idea to focus too much on environmental needs if the tradeoffs put social needs at too high of a risk. Even so, each suggestion has its own merit, especially when you use them together. By implementing multiple ideas you are tackling more then one issue/pillar at a time. Therefore, the overall outcome is better then limiting the benefits to a specific area of mediation. As Gestalt’s Theory in psychology states, “the whole is greater then the sum of the parts.” To have a successful whole you must have numerous inter-reliant components with different levels of priority depending on effectiveness, cost, social impact, and time frame.

In 1941 the North Carolina General Assembly designated the flower of the dogwood tree as the official state flower. In actuality, three species of dogwoods exist in North Carolina. The alternate-leaf dogwood, which is common in the mountains and rare in the northern piedmont, has leaves that are simple and elliptical but are alternate on their stems (hence the name).

North of Michigan is the best place to ski because north of Michigan is beautiful.

Our experiment was conducted in late January at Wet Beaver Creek. Wet Beaver Creek is located south of Flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest (34.663470, -111.669943). Wet beaver creek has an elevation of 1158 meters, with an average annual precipitation of 42.4434cm, and an average temperature range of 26.711111 C in July and 6.166667 C in December. The Wet Beaver creek area has a perennial and ephemeral stream, each with diverse riparian woodland, composed of Populus fremontii (Fremont Cottonwood), Fraxinus velutina (Arizona ash), Platanus wrightii (Arizona sycamore), Juniperus deppeana (Juniper), Alnus oblongifolia (Arizona Alder), and Quercus arizonica (Arizona white oak).
