The Course of Coltan

-Stated in the preface, Leonard L. Richards had heard the standard story of Shays's Rebellion time and time again. While finding a last-minute book for his class, he discovered in a footnote that the Massachusetts Archives had the names of the Shaysites,not just the names of the leaders, but some four thousand names. With most rebellions, finding out who participated is difficult, making this unusual. Again by accident, Richards learned that the university library had the pertinent state archives on microfilm. After working through the bad handwriting, Richards found out that the "standard story" he was taught made little sense. I believe that in wanting to tell the story right, Richards did more research and it led to his writing of this book.

The game had 2:14 left when the Indians faced a fourth and three and once again they elected to go for it. This time the decision was made good when,Tanner Conley picked up 10-yards on a run right up the gut. A 24-yard field goal from Thompson gave the Indians a 24-14 lead.

The Battle of Little Bighorn is considered to be one of the biggest blunders in American military history. It is also believed to be one of the most unfair decisions made by the military because of the fact that it was extremely discriminatory to the Native Americans that lived in the region of the Black Hills in South Dakota. The rights of Native Americans has been an ongoing issue ever since the pilgrims started making their settlements on Indian land. Indians had finally had enough of the Americans taking their land and in June of 1876, a bloody battle took place that would never be forgotten.

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.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn River, which took stage on the 25th and 26th of June 1876, was known to the Lakota as the Battle of the Greasy Grass. This Battle was also one of the last important stands of the American Indians against the United States of America. The Battle took place in the Montana Territory between the combined Indian tribes of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes. These Indian tribes led by Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and other Indian leaders battled the Seventh Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The Indian forces were victorious during this battle where they faced their much smaller in number opponent led by General George Armstrong Custer. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the events that led to the conflict, the environment of the battle ground, the disposition and composition of each side, actions, inactions taken as well as the their significance.

The battle at Little Bighorn is one of the most talked about battles in American History. In this paper I will cover the events in history that lead to the battle, the battle, aftermath and the lessons learned from this battle. Over one hundred years later it is still one of the most talked about battles in Army history.

I think one of the theme is coming to ages. Where in part 1 John Grady was optimistic toward the old Western life. While adventuring to Mexico, John and Rawlins were convinced that Mexico is the place they were searching for. They thought life would be good from now on and working at Don Hector's ranch. Later on to part 2, John falls in love Alejandra, which makes him more attached to this ranch. What he has lost in Texas, he has gained in Mexico.

Then Hectors reported the cops.

The Black Hills, a former sacred place to the Indians, have an onrush of settlers that move in due to rumors of gold and other valuable materials. The Sioux Indians are angry at the United States Army for spreading this rumor, and they begin to fight. The soldiers decide to attack an Oglala and Cheyenne camp on March 17, 1876, and the camp is destroyed. Soon after, at the clash at Rosebud (June 17), the Indians beat the army. The Indians win again the Battle of Little Bighorn on June 29. At this battle General George Custer and many of his troops died. White people were angry at the Indians after this battle, and they wanted the Indians to sign a treaty that would remove the Indians from the Black Hills and send them to land that was near
