Shenandoah National Trail: A Short Story

This book was quite difficult to read. The simple fact that it was written in 1896 is why the reader will have a little difficulty reading and comprehending this work, and the author is in no way at fault. Ross quotes extensively from source documents which proved to be very tedious. Not only was Ross a state representative during the time of Johnson's impeachment trial, but Ross' vote proved to be the final vote that would result in conviction or acquittal. His vote ultimately lost him the bid for re-election two years later. This work is a prime source document from 1896.

On August 29, 1860, Loving and John Dawson started a herd of cattle to Denver to feed the gold miners. Loving sold his cattle for gold and tried to leave for Texas but since the civil war has broken out the Union authorities prevented him from returning to the south until he was told to. Loving was commissioned to take cattle to Confederate forces by Mississippi. Once the war ended they owed Loving between 100,000 and 250,000 dollars.

It was always a joy for the trail crew to call in the mules and horses early in the morning from the lush, Leprechaun-green government pasture down in Red’s Meadow on a sweet, warm summer’s day.  The animals really loved it too, as they munched on mush from feed bags tied around their necks.  They would get so frisky and spunky from feeling their oats that they would deposit road apples in the corral.  This was soon stomped into the dirt and completely overwhelmed the fresh, fragrant smell of flowers, meadow and forest.

Like most things for me, I begin with a story. I have intentionally omitted the names of the killers, this is the victims story not theirs. By all account’s Marjorie Hipperson was a striking young woman, in her early twenties working as a nurse in Hollywood, she had a prosperous future ahead of her. She was returning home on a Saturday evening in May of 1957 from her and her fiancée engagement party to prepare for their upcoming trip to Chicago. Marjorie and her soon to be husband planed to travel to his hometown for their wedding. She began that evening to pack for her journey by neatly arranging her clothes on her nightstand. When Marjorie failed to show for work the next morning or answer any phone calls, her fiancée went to apartment to check on her. Upon his arrival at her home, he discovered his would be bride’s naked lifeless body, her nightgown pulled over her shoulders, her pantyhose wrapped around her neck. At twenty-four years of Age Marjorie had been beaten, raped and strangled to death with her own clothing

During the summer before my Freshman year I went to hell and back, and by hell I mean Philmont scout ranch. Just a little background, Philmont scout ranch is 140,117 thousand acres of big rugged, dry, mountainous terrain. I knew what I was getting into, Ever since I joined boy scouts Philmont was regarded as the ultimate scouting experience, so of course i was pressured into that. Eventually summer rolled around and before I knew it I was on a train to New Mexico.

The Oregon Trail was a 2,200 mile long journey from Missouri to Oregon that many pioneers traveled along to reach new lands in hopes of better opportunities. The first people to explore the Oregon Trail were fur traders in the early 1800’s. In the 1840’s many more settlers headed out west due to hardships that the East was enduring. Settlers were faced with difficult obstacles such as, harsh landscapes, extreme weather diseases, and shortages of food, water and supplies.

The Appalachian Trail was also the product of a daydream atop Stratton Mountain, the brainchild of Benton MacKaye. MacKaye was an off-and-on federal employee, educated as a forester and self-trained as a planner, who proposed it as the connecting thread of "a project in regional planning." His proposal, drawing on years of talk of a "master trail" within New England hiking circles, was written at the urging of concerned friends in the months after his suffragette-leader wife killed herself. It appeared in the October 1921 edition of the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, at the time a major organ the regional-planning movement. MacKaye envisioned a trail along the ridge-crests of the Appalachian

It was a quiet warm fall night one of those fall days that you can smell the leaves decomposing on the ground at Acadia National Park on the BeeHive trail when there was a shrill shreek and a loud gasp. I had been at Acadia National Park since Friday it was Sunday my last day here. Later me and my mom had decided to go on one of the hardest trails for our last trail, it is called the BeeHive. This is a special trail that uses rungs for parts of it because of how steep it is. I was half way up the trail when I tried to halt but it was too late, the sand had concealed the wet, slippery leaves. Seconds after I was optimistic that I could hold my balance I then got sceptical about standing still I tried to move and then I dropped off the side of

The overarching theme of Trails, by Frank Manarado is that love gives you strength to endure through personal burdens. The poem heavily exhibits the idea that love sustains adversity. Trials likens love’s guidance to a light, stating that, “there’s a light of love that gives us our sight.” Sonnet 116 also uses a source of light as a symbol for guidance. The poem displays how love can help individuals endure personal burdens through the quote, “We both have situations not fair, but inside we continue because of something special we share.”

They were all old and weary men, who looked saddened upon seeing me, as if the only hope they had for humanity was a fire dying out.

Sunrise Mountain became a place where I could teach my sons a love of exercise, preparing one’s body for a physical journey and a place where I could exercise my frustrations. It is a small mountain range located in North Peoria, Arizonan north of West Happy Valley Road and west of North 83rd Avenue, nestled behind an elementary school. I first discovered it when my oldest son Matthew was preparing to hike the Grand Canyon with his youth group. Matthew had an introverted personality and with the help of Youth Pastor Craig Walker, he were able to draw Matthew out with an activity based program. This included Friday Game Nights, weekend hiking trips and short trips to the California beaches.
