Website: https://www.over-land.com/diaries.html

You need to write a summary in 100 words minimum about each story you pick. Yes, a summary of the migrant experience. They are all so different that we want to get a feel for that person's life while migrating. Think about how age, gender & race affect the story. Think about who's making the decisions. Is it people or is it geography & weather.

Example Student Post:

Title: Craig Mountain

William Craig was a sub-Indian agent for the Nez Perces at that time and the agency was at Walla Walla. In 1858 Craig was superseded by A.J. Cain as Indian agent for the Nez Perce Indians and the agency was at Cantonment Stevens, it being abandoned, and the U.S. troops were removed to the garrison. At the age of eighteen he became involved in an altercation with one much older than he was and was forced to kill him in self-defense. Shortly after Craig joined the French Canadians to start a journey up the Missouri river on a trading expedition, but on their way there they encountered trappers and just as fast as he joined the French Canadians he now switched his roles and became a full-fledged trapper. Craig spent many years along the rivers with the natives skinning animals and collecting money for his exchanges and bargaining. In 1868 Craig received a paralytic stroke from which he never entirely recovered and eventually led to his death.

Question: Do you feel that at an early age in your beginning teens and adult life you would be able to fend for yourself? Such as catch and kill your food, defend yourself against others, kill someone for survival? Why or why not?
