After the incident at the O.K. corral Wyatt and Doc split and went their own ways. Doc weaved in and out of Colorado for some time.

Approximately 200 people would die there, many disfigured by the soldiers. According to the Lone Wolf, a novel by Kevin Cahill, “When the smoke cleared, Colonel John M. Chivington’s troops returned to Denver, waving Indian scalps and body parts to an adoring crowd that hailed the conquering heroes as saviors of the territory”. The chiefs that were killed were, Standing-in-the-Water, Ochinee and War Bonnet, White Antelope, Tall Bear, Bear Robe, Little Robe, Spotted Crow, Big Man, Bear Man and Old Yellow Wolf. After this, the entire camp was burned. Many of the natives were left behind to be identified by their family members. Several men tried to stop the massacre, mainly a CPT. Silas, who on Apr 23, 1865 was found shot to death in Denver.

Cavalier in Buckskin, a book about George Armstrong Custer’s life up until his death on June 25, 1876 at the Battle of Little Bighorn, taught me many things about how Custer lived and acted. It also taught me a lot about Custers personality in battle which made me come to the conclusion that he was a very confident man in what he did and how he fought his battles which in turn possibly could have ended his life because overconfidence can be deadly.
In reading the articles from both of the authors, it was easy for me to see the perspective that each one has on the subject of Barry Bonds and his use of steroids in Major League Baseball. The first author Will (2007) comes across that his perspective is against the drug use in any sports and he uses an objective language in his writing to show that. In our textbook Chaffee, McMahon, and Stout, (2008) describes an objective language as the use of little personal judgement and using persuasive facts to lure the audience in your direction. Will (2007) used facts based on the change in the ratio of home runs every 16.1 at bats before to 8.9 at-bats after the drug use for Bonds. Will (2007) also used testimonies from people that worked with Bonds, the equipment manager Mike Murphy for the San Francisco Giants testified that Bonds’s shirt size changed from a 42 to a 52 and that his shoe size increased from a 10 to a 13. Will (2007) also used examples of drug use in different sports from as far back as 1898 to support his story.

This is evident in Travis’s case; Shelton never encouraged his son to learn or was pleased with anything he ever did. As a result, Travis saw “laying low” and not having any ambition or dreams as his only option to avoiding his father’s wrath.
Because of their recklessness, Sitting Bull vowed to never let his people come near or sign a treaty with these intruders. Because of his defiance, he was soon popular not only in the Sioux tribe, but also in the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribe. Sitting Bull's most famous battle was the “Battle Of Little Bighorn,” also called “Custer's Last Stand.” Custer was a powerful American officer who was known for his ruthlessness. Sitting Bull helped join together the Lakota Sioux with the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes to fight at this battle. Even though the odds were against them, they still defeated Custer's many troops victoriously. Sitting Bull was said to have a major part as a spiritual and military leader in this battle. Unfortunately, his tribe still fled north to Canada in fear of more attacks from the white men. Sitting Bull stayed up North for four years, and then came back to the Dakota lands, where he was held prisoner. There he befriended Annie Oakley, and became a part of the “Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show.” Even though he got payed $50 a week, a large sum at the time, he soon became tired and shocked at
I learned so much about Wyatt Earp’s life, but it was also very entertaining. Some of my favorite things about this movie were the acting, the battle scenes, and the scenes where Doc and Wyatt were gambling. The acting in this movie, I feel, was really good. It seemed like the actors, were truly the characters, and not just people pretending to be them. Val Kilmer did an excellent job playing Doc Holliday, he did not break character and was very serious, just like Doc was. I felt like I lived in Tombstone, and knew the characters by the end of the movie. The showdown behind the O.K. Corral also seemed very realistic. The shooting all looked real, and it looked like the showdown was actually happening. I also really enjoyed the gambling scenes. They were very fun to watch, and full of exciting surprises. The movie was gory, and there was blood and violence. I believe there was a perfect balance of violence though, because the true story did have a lot of fighting, but it was not too gory. As well as learning specific facts, I learned a few valuable lessons from watching this movie. One lesson I took out of the film is to never give up. Wyatt Earp wanted to stop the cowboys, and did not want them to hurt the town of Tombstone any more. He knew that the cowboys were tough, and very dangerous, but he was very determined to stop them. He fought many tough battles, and refused to give up. Wyatt Earp, his
