Today, most people in the United States rely on cars, or even planes to deliver our purchased merchandise, expecting them in a day or a week at the latest. It seems like second nature to take a trip to the nearest store to acquire the essentials, such as food and water, and even purchase luxury goods without a second thought. Even so, most of us do not consider how challenging it must have been for the first inhabitants of our land to receive goods, especially if they wished to receive it quickly.

The settlers would travel across countries, continents, or even oceans to obtain

After a large profit, Becknell continued to make trips, blazing the path that became known as the Santa Fe Trail. Soon, traders, visitors, and the military would regularly travel the route.
“The Transcontinental Train” Word Count: 603 Today I look back at my home. Or to put it correctly, what used to be my home. The Americans and their hired Chinese and Irish men are, as we speak, running the tracks down that divide our land. Not theirs, but our land. These people are laying down tracks separating our lives as we speak. Our entire way of operating will be destroyed. And it doesn’t seem like it only affected their side, but our American side as well. They can now possibly be viewed as a greedy nation for the ill-treatment of all those immigrants. It seems the idea of The Transcontinental Railroad has more downs that ups; injuring it workers, taking down Native American Homes, and showing how
This was my journey to The Death Valley National Park, it was a fun and exciting three days there. Death Valley is located in southeastern California and west of Las Vegas, Nevada. Probably the worst part of the trip was flying, my mom and I hate flying. But after flying we go to the park and the The Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel.

This hotel also has a pool which is nice because as it is very hot we can cool down in the pool. Free
