    1. much of our game strays outside the Park boundaries, and if not killed will again learn to fear human beings, and we will lose the confidence of the wild creatures that we have gained within the past few years.

      Ideas like this formed the roots of modern transboundary management because people realized that wildlife needed more area to roam during winter.

    2. Some apprehension is felt for the herd this winter, since the lower altitudes, inside andoutside the park, are well grazed by domestic stock during the summer months. It is high time that some provision were made for winter feeding, else the herd will become a nuisance to nearby ranchers

      By the 1930s, people began to worry that their game-herd increasing strategy was not a good one because herds were too big.

    1. Albeit much more quietly, the brook, brown, and rainbow trout intentionally stocked by managers during the park’s early history also have taken their toll on cutthroat trout populations across Yellowstone.

      Invasive trout were stocked in many places during the early conservation era. This caused many problems, but it shows how different it was from modern conservation, which protects native species over invasive ones.

    1. the Americans and Osama bin Laden had fought on the same side against the Soviets in Afghanistan — as if the Americans had somehow created the Bin Laden monster by providing arms and cash to the Arabs. The complex at Tora Bora where Qaeda members hid had been created with the help of the C.I.A. as a base for the Afghans fighting the Soviets.

      Americans almost sourced the terrorism with resources for the Afghans when they were fighting against Soviets. By giving resources to an 'ally' to fight against an enemy (the Soviets), the US funded another enemy.

    1. Recent studies have shown that on average women pay almost 40% more than men for the same health insurance policies.

      Why hasn't the U.S. made laws to make sure everything women do is equal to men? I hope that things will be equal when I grow up and inequality can have an effect on me.

    1. In the fall of 1618, three comets appeared. A book by a prominent Jesuit argued that the comets followed orbits close to those of planets, although they had short lifetimes. Galileo knew the comets moved in almost straight line motion much of the time. As usual, Galileo could not conceal his contempt of the incorrect views of others:

    4. American women gained the right to vote on August 26, 1920, with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, after fighting one of the largest civil rights battles in United States history. The suffrage movement began in 1848 at a convention in Seneca Falls, New York, but women had been voicing their frustrations for generations, with the earliest publicly recorded declaration of women's rights dating back to the time of the American Revolution.

      This article does a good job of showing how hard women worked to be able vote before the entire U.S. allowed it in 1920.

    1. It didn't work in the Springs. Within a month, the police department had the Klan under surveillance, so that its membership list could not stay secret. Many police chiefs became Klan members, but Colorado Springs Police Chief Hugh Harper was one of the few Colorado peace officers to fight the Klan from the moment it arrived. He saw it as a "temptation to the hot-heads and the firebrands. I believe that there is a good prospect that the new Ku Klux Klan may take men into its roster who act first and think afterward. That can only mean a calamity in any community, sooner or later."

    1. Market hunting, sport hunting, and a US Army campaign in the late 1800s nearly eliminated bison. Yellowstone was the only place in the contiguous 48 states where wild, free ranging bison persisted. The US Army, which administered Yellowstone at the turn of the 20th century, protected these few dozen bison from poaching as best they could. The protection and recovery of bison in Yellowstone is one of the great triumphs of American conservation.

      The U.S. Army, led by Philip Sheridan, who advocated exterminating the bison, quickly switched their policy and guarded the park's wildlife until the National Park Service was established in 1916.

    2. From 30 to 60 million bison may have roamed North America before the mid 1800s.

      This shows how quickly bison were in decline before their rescue by the U.S. Army, which, ironically, was the primary force in exterminating them beforehand.

    1. While serving as first lord of the Admiralty, Churchill helped modernize the British Navy, ordering that new warships be built with oil-fired instead of coal-fired engines.

    1. Today, it is difficult for many people to understand why early park managers would have participated in the extermination of wolves. After all, the Yellowstone National Park Act of 1872 stated that the Secretary of the Interior “shall provide against the wanton destruction of the fish and game found within said Park.” But this was an era before people, including many biologists, understood the concepts of ecosystem and the interconnectedness of species. At the time, the wolves’ habit of killing prey species was considered “wanton destruction” of the animals. Between 1914 and 1926, at least 136 wolves were killed in the park; by the 1940s, wolf packs were rarely reported. By the mid-1900s, wolves had been almost entirely eliminated from the 48 states.

      This shows how different conservation was in its early days. Instead of managing lands as an ecosystem, predators were killed in the name of progress, progress being the conservation and expansion of game animal herds.

    1. Racial tensions, police suspicion and the Panthers' radical politics had already proved a volatile combination. Founded in 1966, the party quickly became a menacing, yet romanticized, force. In the two years before the raid, police and Panthers had engaged in eight gun battles nationally, in which three police officers and five Panthers died. Four of the shootouts, including one in which two police officers were killed, occurred in Chicago.

      Police raided the Black Panther's headquarters in Illinois. It was found that there was only one bullet fired by the Panthers vs the multiple that the police fired.

At 2:35 a.m., the first Japanese landing barge ground ashore. Soon a desperate battle was being fought across the atoll between groups of men fighting with rifles, bayonets, grenades and fists. The Americans fought hard, but more Japanese landed and pushed them toward the island’s center. Teters’ civilian construction workers, many of whom had manned anti-aircraft guns earlier in the fight, now took up rifles and grenades to fight beside the American servicemen.

    1. Those indicted are: Chelsea Dawn Gerlach, 29, Stanislas Gregory Meyerhoff, 28, Josephine Sunshine Overaker, 31, and Rebecca Jeanette Rubin, 33. Gerlach and Meyerhoff are presently in federal custody in Oregon, facing separate arson charges. The whereabouts of Overaker and Rubin are unknown.

      This is a good, reliable source and it gives us the names of the accused arsonists which is really helpful.

    1. On the morning of October 19, 1998 a group of people part of the Earth Liberation Front set fires to several lifts and buildings at Vail Ski Resort.[1] This was one of the worst ecoterrorism attacks in the history of the United States, causing $12 million in damages, which caught the attention of the nation.[2] The fires were set at Two Elk Lodge, and destroyed multiple buildings on Vail Mountain, including Two Elk Restaurant.[3] In 2006, Chelsea Dawn Gerlach and Stanislas Gregory Meyerhoff both pleaded guilty to the attacks.[4] Only Josephine Sunshine Overaker still remains at large.

      This is a good source because it gives us a great overview of who, what, when, and why the vail attacks of 1998 happened. Also, this source gives us some good detailed information that we can use. An example of this is how it says that there was 12 million dollars in damage.

      The national forests enabled much broader use than the national parks.

    1. had caught the imagination of Congress.

      The main purpose of the national parks was originally to protect the scenery, but it eventually expanded to include the wildlife.

    1. The party’s original purpose was to patrol African American neighbourhoods to protect residents from acts of police brutality.

      the purpose of the Black panther party was to protect African Americans from brutality.

    1. Censorship of foreign acts is common in China. When the Rolling Stones made their debut performance here in 2006, the Culture Ministry restricted the band from performing five songs, including “Beast of Burden,” “Brown Sugar,” “Honky Tonk Woman,” “Let’s Spend the Night Together” and “Rough Justice.” And in 2008, Bjork stunned the Chinese censors by shouting out “Tibet! Tibet!” during her song “Declare Independence.” That outburst led to a dearth of A-list foreign acts for years here.

      There was a lot of censorship during that time not just with Bob Dylan

    2. But in China, where the censors from the government’s Culture Ministry carefully vet every line of a song before determining whether a foreign act can play here, those two songs disappeared from the repertoire. In Beijing, Dylan sang “Love Sick” in the place of “Desolation Row,” and he ended his nearly two-hour set with the innocent-sounding “Forever Young.” There was no “Times They Are a-Changin’ ” in China. And definitely no “Chimes of Freedom.” This

    1. establishes the first national park.

      This was one of the first acts that helped spur the early conservation movement. It wasn't the first protected area though, because Yosemite State Park was established first.

    2. The US Army arrives to administer the park. They stay until 1918.

      The US Army was important in the early conservation history of the park. They helped to prevent poaching and they protected the last remaining bison, which eventually grew to over 4000 animals.

    3. Northern Pacific Railroad reaches the North Entrance of the park.

      Originally, the parks were for enjoyment more than conservation.

    4. prohibits killing predators

      This marked a major change in the management of wildlife in the national parks. Instead of protecting "good" animals, they began to protect everything, at the cost of the animals they had previously managed for.

Whereas, on the twentysecond day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:
    1. I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence in my situation might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest, no deficiency of grateful respect for your past kindness, but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both.
