Lewis and Clark's Bittersweet Crossing
Lewis and Clark's Bittersweet Crossing When Lewis and Clark reached the Rocky Mountains, in what is now Montana and Idaho, they did not realize how difficult it would be to cross the rugged peaks that form the backbone of the North American continent. The natives called the mountains the "Bitterroots" and the name was appropriate. Had it not been for the generosity of the Nez Perce Indians who inhabited the area west of the mountains, the members of the Corps of Discovery might have perished before completing their mission.

In Lewis and Clark's Bittersweet Crossing, Carol MacGregor tells the story of the expedition, focusing on both their struggle to conquer the Bitterroot Range and their interaction with the Native Americans who made the crossing possible. Beautifully illustrated by artist Gaye Hoopes, this book brings history alive for young readers.

Resolved Question: Is this and A paper????
im writing a report on Nevada and need to know if this is good. It will say look here for pics but there on a cologe so these are just words... Nevada The state of Nevada was claimed as the 36th state on October 31, 1864.Thats when it became an official state. Nevada?s nicknames are Sagebrush State, Battle Born State, and the most known nickname is the Silver State. The meaning of the name of our state ?Nevada? is snow-capped in Spanish. Here are some facts about Nevada; the population is about 1,998,257 people. It?s the 35th largest state (2000 census). Nevada?s Capital is Carson City. The state bird is the Mountain Bluebird and the state animal is the Desert Bighorn. The state flower is Sagebrush and the state tree is Single-leaf Pinon and the Bristlecone Pine. Our state precious gemstone is the Virgin Valley Black Fire Opal. The state song is Home Means Nevada. Home means Nevada, Home means the hills. Home means the sage and the pine. Out by the Truckee?s silvery rills. Out where the sun always shines. There is the land that I love the best, fairer than all I can see. Right in the heart of the golden West, Home means Nevada to me. Our state colors or silver and blue. And the state flag has a green reef looking type of thing on it with yellow flowers. Its says Nevada under a white star. Above the white star there is a scroll saying battle born. The background color of the flag is navy blue. Our states motto is ?all for our country.? Here is a picture of what our state looks like, Here is a picture of Carson city, our capital. Nevada is the home of the wild mustangs, which is one of my favorite things about the state. Nevada is bordered by Utah,Arazona,California,Oregon, and Idaho. Here is a timeline of dates that are important to Nevada. ? 1821 Mexico claimed the area after a successful revolt against Spain. ? 1840's Americans on the way to California traveled through the region. ? 1848 Nevada was part of the area ceded by Mexico to the United States. ? 1849 The first non-Indian settlement was made at Mormon Station (Genoa). ? 1850 When Utah Territory was organized, almost all of present-day Nevada was included except the southern tip, which was then part of the New Mexico Territory. ? 1859 The Comstock Lode of gold and silver was discovered at Virginia City, and many miners began coming from California. ? 1861 Congress created Nevada Territory. In 1862 the territory was enlarged by shifting the eastern boundary. ? 1863 Nevada became a state. In 1866 and 1867 more eastern land was gained from Utah Territory and the southern tip was acquired from Arizona Territory. ? 1880 - 1890 As the Comstock Lode declined, the state's population fell from 62,000 to 47,000. ? 1900 The discovery of silver at Tonopah, soon followed by gold strikes at Goldfield and the discovery of copper at Ely, led to a new mining boom that lasted until after World War I. Those are some very important history dates of Nevada.

One thing you guys might know about Nevada, is Sarah Winnemucca. This is what the wikipedia says about her in the first paragraph, Sarah Winnemucca (born Thocmentony, Paiute: Shell Flower )which is now western Nevada? (ca. 1841 ? October 17, 1891) was notable for being the first Native American woman known to secure a copyright and to publish in the English language. She was also known by her married name, Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, under which she was published. Her book, Life Among the Paiutes: Their Wrongs and Claims, is an autobiographical account of her people during their first forty years of contact with explorers and settlers. Sarah was a person of two worlds. At the time of her birth her people had only very limited contact with Euro-Americans; however she spent much of her adult life in white society. Like many people of two worlds, she may be judged harshly in both contexts. Many Paiutes view her as a collaborator who helped the U.S. Army kill her people. Modern historians view her book as an important primary source, but one that is deliberately misleading in many instances. Despite this, Sarah has received much positive attention recently for her activism. She was inducted into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame in 1993, and in 2005 a statue of her was added to the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol. That says a lot about her. Sarah Winnemucca is very well known for bringing peace between Americans and Indians. Nevada is well known for her. Because she was born in what is now western Nevada. She is now in the Nevada hall of fame. Nevada is apart of the Great Basin desert. You can see many miles of beautiful mountains, sagebrush, animals, and so much more!!! Nevada has one of the lowest average rainfalls out of the fifty states: nine inches. You may have heard the poem Mountains as Islands which says the following, Mountains as Islands Each range here is like a warship standing on its own, and the Great Basin is an ocean of loose sediment with these mountain ranges standing in it as if they were members of a fleet without precedent, assembled at Guam to assault Japan. Some of the ranges are forty miles long, others a hundred, a hundred and fifty. They point generally north. The basins that separate them-ten and fifteen miles wide-will run on for fifty, a hundred, two hundred and fifty miles with lone, daisy-petalled windmills standing over sage and wild rye. ?Discounting the cry of the occasional bird, the wailing of a pack of coyotes, silence-a great spatial silence- is pure in the Basin and Range. It is a soundless immensity with mountains in it. -John McPhee Basin and Range, 1980 this is a 4th grade papeer just so you know... just read my own paper and fell asleep geese this paper sucks!

Resolved Question: Astronomy professor in Idaho may hold the key to Bigfoot being a natural phenomenon rather than occult?
Most of his colleagues are embarrassed by him and others think he's on the brink of discovery. Do you think he's any closer to finding out what's going on than people who have attempted it in the past? In reading the article at aol.com I was undecided. On one hand I can see where it could be considered a good thing in the name of science. But at the same time, I almost wonder if Bigfoot is so elusive for a reason. (more...)

Resolved Question: suger or sweetner...mmm?
ASPARTAME: It?s the world?s best ant poison Those nice people who produce aspartame, the sweetener in diet drinks, have taken quite a hammering of late. So it's great to be able to report on a practical application of the sweetener that puts it in a more positive light. According to Jan Jenson of Mooresville, North Carolina, it's the world's greatest ant poison. "It works better than the most deadly poisons I have tried. Any time those ants show up again, I simply dump another package of NutraSweet in a corner, and they will be gone for a year or so again," she reports. She made the discovery after carpenter ants, which were resistant to even the deadliest ant poisons such as Orkin, plagued her home. At her wit's end, she remembered reading that aspartame had first been developed as an ant poison until the manufacturer discovered its more lucrative role as a sweetener. She bought two packets of NutraSweet, put one in a corner of her two bathrooms, and she didn't see another ant for nearly a year. As with any poison, Jan recommends that you wear gloves and wash your skin afterwards should you come into direct contact with the poison. Of course, you must avoid swallowing it (oh, yes, of course, you are supposed to swallow it). (Source: Idaho Observer, 1 July 2006). (more...)
