Old Western Situation Analysis

The Badlands are geographically located in Southwest South Dakota, the Southern Unit being within the Pine Ridge Reservation.  The Oglala Lakota Nation co-manages the Southern Unit of Badlands National Park.

Ever since my dad was a young boy he has wanted to visit all the National Parks in the United States. We’ve already been to The Grand Canyon in Arizona, The Badlands in South Dakota, Biscayne in Florida, Mesa Verde in Colorado, and many more! This time we were headed for Colorado where National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, is located. I was really dreading this trip. I’d never heard of this park before and neither had my friends. All the other parks we’d been to have been really interesting and enjoyable, but Black Canyon of the Gunnison most likely won’t be.

The Badlands has a striking scenery, several areas to explore, and it is affordable. However, if one is unprepared for the trip, the experience will not be the same.

During the Middle Ages, or also known as the Medieval Ages, change was a major part of that period. Europe was watching war become much different. In the older times, a few thousands of troops were considered a large army. Nowadays, nobody has ever seen such size of an army with such variety in weapons including guns, munitions, and artillery that were all developed during that period. Besides, it was obvious that the face of warfare was changing by the end of the fifteenth century. Two of the most significant developments were the maintaining of a fair amount of troops on a permanent basis at the ready, and the rising need of gunpowder weapons and munitions. In essence The Middle

I visited a place in Waco Texas where I reside. Waco is situated between Dallas and Austin. It was a park called Indian Spring Park. This park is on the west side of the Brazos River. People

Anxious to take advantage of the growing business of tourism at the turn of the last century, Wyoming's leaders decided to give visitors what they wanted -- rodeos and wild west shows. The locals were urged to wear cowboy attire to add to the atmosphere.

The 100 Years’ War was given a misleading name, as this conflict between England and France was not a war that lasted one hundred years, it was rather a series of related clashes that lasted just over a century. However, the fact that this conflict lasted more that one hundred years meant that many new tactics and weaponry came into play that changed the concepts of warfare forever. During this one hundred years, tactics changed from the system of feudal armies dominated by heavy Calvary, to the first attempt at some sort of ‘standing army’. The evolution in the types of tactics and weapons that nations used caused the battlefields of Europe to be covered in blood, as the more advanced the weapons, became, the more casualties amounted. The 100 Years’ War was the first time that strategy was used in order to command troops on the battlefield, and it was during this time that the fabrication of early martial handbooks also came into the battle. One of the more famous authors of one of these books was “the great Swabian practitioner and teacher, Johannes Liechtenauer” . Unfortunately, there are no French texts concerning martial handbooks that predate 1570, meaning that in order to look at tactics, sources from surrounding nations at the time have to suffice. Another thing that evolved extremely rapidly during the 100 years’ war, was the escalation of the types of weapons used during conflicts. Inasmuch there were 100 years of outright fighting, each side had a chance to

“The condition that exists when people have developed effective ways of organizing a society and care about art, science, etc.” This is the definition of civilization. So when I explain the different characteristics of the western civilizations, which is mainly made up of all the countries in the world that have roots that go way back to ancient Greece. Although western societies have a lot of similarities as todays and other civilizations, it’s still tend to be known to as pretty rare, mainly in the way “western” think and believe. Western people thinking investigates something that is thought to be true and questions it, they were the type of humans to heavily test everyone’s mind. They would challenge one another to think outside of what

Everytime my family goes to Gatlinburg we go to a very significant place called Cades Cove. Cades Cove is out in the prairies where the pioneers used to live. Not only is interesting to learn about the pioneers, but also get to physically see how they lived. It is truly amazing to see how they did it and how they accomplished the things they did. Although you are learning a lot of history in Cades Cove, the scenery and wildlife is also astonishing. Cades Cove is filled with nothing but pretty flat fields that lead into huge glorious mountains. Cades Cove also has many wildlife someone might be lucky to see such as: deer, bears, wolves, coyotes, and many more. Therefore if you ever go to Gatlinburg, Cades Cove is a place i would not miss out on.

What does one think of when given the phrase “Wild West?” Is it cowboys and Indians? Bar fights? John Wayne perhaps? Despite various answers, numerous people can agree that the wild west was an eventful and important time period. “The American west had all sorts of people including pioneers, business people, scouts, lawmen, outlaws, gangs, gunslingers, and cowboys. Most of these people had one thing in common… they were looking for an opportunity and they weren’t afraid of adventure.” These people settled in Wild West towns and changed the land, which played a big role in the development of modern-day society. Sacramento, a major historic town, stands as a notable example of

For my Cultural Report I chose to go to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. As I was looking through the many exhibits I realized the importance that western cultural has on the state of Oklahoma and in the United States in general. All of the different sculptures and photography exhibits take you through many emotions as you look through them. Many of the exhibits in the museum are about the old west and describe the way that many of the sculptures were made and what they mean to Oklahoma or just to any “true” cowboy in general. The National Cowboy and Western Heritage museum conveys the image of an American cowboy. This entire museum entails the life of Native Americans and cowboy in western heritage.
