Horses, Pastoralism, And Overabundance: The Southern Plains

The environmental issue in the Interior Plains is lumber/timber harvesting. Forest workers are cutting down trees to turn tree parts into lumber and timber.

The Comanche first met the Spanish around the late 1600’s. The most prominent contribution from the Spanish was the horse. The horse helped strengthen the Comanche. The Spanish would not benefit too much from trading with the Comanche. Most of the trading done was usually for things or persons stolen by the Comanche, which the Spanish wanted back. Most of the time it was people. The Comanche would also encounter some American and German settlers in the late 1700’s early 1800’s. However, the Comanche didn’t really trade with them, they would just steal horses, cattle, possessions and women and children, which they would sell back to the settlers of course.

Raiding had been something to Apache had only done once in awhile but now that they couldn’t hunt buffalo any longer raiding became necessary for their survival. The hostility between the Apache and the Spanish settlers increased when New Mexico became a Spanish Colony . From the time of the Spanish colonization until 1886 they were noted for their warlike disposition. According to the written history of whites, Apaches have always been hostile; in truth, serious warlike behavior could usually be attributed to belligerent behavior on the part of the whiteman, or misunderstandings between the two peoples.

Have you ever been in a place of green with forests and animals everywhere? Well, where some of the Native Americans lived, there were such things. Native American tribes such as the Crow lived in the Great Plains. The Crow tribe of the Great Plains were nomadic and followed the buffalo migrations which provided their food. This tribe spent a good part of the year living in camps that could easily be dismantled and moved to follow the buffalo migrations. Other tribes of the plains were more sedentary. These tribes lived in permanent villages year round.

At the period of the Columbian Exchange, there were many items, including many crops and animals, that were traded with the Americas. Though many of them were useful, the most beneficial and useful item was the horse. Many of the Native Americans first feared the large and fierce war animals, yet they adapted to them and learned to ride and care for them. This barter was much of use to the Native Americans.

The spread and use of guns and horses, transformed relations of power between colonists and natives. On the other hand, it transformed relations of power between different native populations. Guns and horses allowed the Osages, Comanches and Sioux to become powerful native polities on the plains. Other native communities such as the Pawnees were weakened. In addition, the lives of the tribes had been changed after the introduction of horses to Plains Native Americans. The coming of horses boosted the development of local transport and economies because the horses allowed the Indians to transport larger amount of goods and crops. Also, the horses could pull much larger and heavier loads on travois than dogs or people could. On the other hands,

Is that my great grandfather's house? The picture you posted caused me to stop and read the entire article. I saw Rock Spring Farm and knew in a flash that he must have a hand in this.

California’s mild climate was one to provide great living conditions for settlers. Those in the Great Plains were used to constant and drastic changes of the weather. These changes were not gradual. One could experience blizzard, floods, earthquakes, and more in a short period of time. High and low temperatures were also record breaking. Winds were the culprits of the land that was blown away from locations. This became a frequent site as the conditions of the Dust Bowl headed down the wrong direction (“Dust Bowl Worst Weather of Century”). A settler stated, “Suddenly there appeared on the northern horizon a black blizzard, moving toward them; there was no sound, no wind, nothing but an immense boogery cloud” (Donald Worster). It has been

Railroads were being built all over the state. The roads were transferring humans and supplies to farther destinations in quicker speed. The cities were expanding in population and size.

It’s currently 2016. I’m standing alone in Salt Lake City; Appaloosa Plains. I will always want to see if anybody is being a victim of false claims. Now I want to know if you are currently a victim of someone framing you? It’s kind of weird that a picture frame that looks like me would stare at me so creepily. The police department now believes that I’m the person who is planning a bomb. My gut is telling me that someone is planning to frame me so I’m venturing off to find the person who is backstabbing me.

The Bureau of Land Management should try to help the horses by keeping a small organization that could watch the horses and allow adoption and let nature take its course on the remaining horses. The population of wild horses has become a problem and something needs to be done, but not to alter the way they

significant amount of environmental damage. In present and past days. Brumbies have been considered helpful, companions and a nuisance. In

Nineteenth-century business owners valued horses for the profit they produced. To them, horses were mostly machines as the French philosopher Rene Descartes has argued, not living organisms and certainly not moral beings. Robert Bakewell, the famous pioneer of modern breeding, for instance “sought to discover the animal which was the best machine for turning food into money”. Productive Horse Husbandry, a frequent reprinted treatise, viewed horses as a machine, which argued that the best horses were those that produce the most work for the least food (fuel). Technically, horses were seen as living machines there stomach being the engines that would produce power as fuel (feed) gets into it. The horse is looked on as a machine; for sentiment

The North American prairie usually refers to the golden wheat covered land in the middle of North America. The Great Plains, in the United States and Canada, have some of the world’s most valuable prairies, which grow some of the most important crops. In the United States North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico, and the Canadian provinces like Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan make up the Great Plains.
