The History of the Louisiana Purchase
This highlighted the difficulty France might have in holding back the western frontier of American pioneers.France did not have a strong enough navy to maintain control of lands so far away from home, separated by the Atlantic ocean. The Louisiana Purchase offered America what the Native Americans had known about for years: a variety of natural formations (waterfalls, mountains, plains, wetlands, among many others) covered by a wide array of wildlife and natural resources

Question of the Week - Huey Lewis and the News.
A guy who used to deliver, I believe, Mystic Lake Yogurt, among other things, told me that he was leaving the delivery job and that his band was taking off. My question is seeing how Sports is turning 30 this year do you see getting the original band together for a one time show? Is that even a possibility? Also will there ever be a remaster of Four!?

Did the U.S. Army Distribute Smallpox Blankets to Indians? Fabrication and Falsification in Ward Churchill's Genocide Rhetoric
While Hudson is critical of the federal government's slow response in sending additional vaccine, she never once mentions anything about smallpox blankets or genocidal Army doctors. Meanwhile, Churchill offers no evidence at all to support his claims that the Army hoarded vaccine in storerooms, and that vaccine was available at Fort Clark in 1837 but withheld by Churchill's fictional post surgeon

They would become the first United States citizens to experience the Great Plains, the immensity of its skies, the rich splendor of its wildlife, the harsh rigor of its winters
This led John, second, to remove first to Albemarle County, and later to Caroline County, where William was born on August 1, 1770, not far from the birthplace of Meriwether Lewis. In order to prepare the way, the message proposed the sending an exploring party to trace the Missouri to its source, to cross the Highlands, and follow the best water communication which offered itself from thence to the Pacific Ocean

It started on July 31, 2000, and was finally extinguished by high-country rain and snow on the 3rd of October, having burned a total of 292,070 acres, or 456 square miles. The Corps camped at the head of the creek they had been following that day, although it was "not the creek our guide wished to have come upon," according to Sgt
Lewis and Clark Expedition
Before stopping for breakfast on July 25, the Corps reached the Missouri's three forks and gave them names: the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin, after the president, secretary of state, and secretary of the treasury, respectively. Nevertheless, the extensive information gained about the natural features, peoples, and resources of the new lands would help to attract thousands of hardy pioneers in the following decades
The distance between the Appalachians and the Mississippi, the limited transportation options, and the unanswered questions about the western land were barriers to westward expansion. Desertion was a serious problem and was severely punished, because the loss of just a few men in the small garrisons would damage fighting capability in the event of an Indian attack
Only one historian has concluded that Lewis kept no journal, "I do not think there is enough available evidence to support a conclusion that Lewis was keeping a journal on the first leg of the journey." But even he hesitates over a full commitment and in another instance writes, "Field notes .

"I should have returned from hence but hearing a tremendous roaring above me I continued my rout across the point of a hill a few hundred yards further and was again presented by one of the most beautiful objects in nature, a cascade of about fifty feet perpendicular stretching at right angles across the river from side to side to the distance of at least a quarter of a mile. A tremendous hailstorm caught Clark, York, Sacagawea and Charbonneau in the open; a washout in the creekbed nearly drowned them, and Clark lost his fusil, compass, and a number of other articles
He was not able to obtain a specimen until May of 1806, when in Idaho the expedition members "killed and preserved several." He then provided a highly detailed description of the bird, and at least one of the preserved specimens made its way back east, where it eventually ended up in the hands of Charles W. These are fairly common river-dwelling turtles that were probably already well known to Captain Lewis and thus not considered worthy of special attention
