ReplyDeleteI learned that the native american tribes had such a simple yet really effective lifestyle they lived by. living in teepees, using every part of a buffalo, and even the idea of having them separated and living in different areas accross the U.S.

ReplyDeleteI learned the importance of cattle drives to wild west cowboys. the point of a cattle drive was to bring your own cattle that are branded with your logo across 1 of many long trails and to a slaughter house where the cowboy sold them for a whole lot of money. It was a neccessity for cowboys to live back then.
