What is the West?

      When did it start?




Where does it start?
? ? What do we generally know ? ?
History of the American West!




http://cdm15330.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/search/searchterm/X-21803

                 It is theforgottenAmerican history…
We all have these images

ingrained in us of John Wayne

and the Indians that Hollywood

has put in our heads …



BUT ? ? ?

What was it really like??
It started from the moment
   of Christopher
   Columbus…



 Then went into a time
     period when the
     Spanish moved
     throughout Mexico
     up into what we know
     as California, New
     Mexico, Arizona and
     some evidence of
 evenfurther.
What we commonly think as the big moment of
 Westward expansion is the purchase of the lands
 west of the Mississippi…




 What we forget is that from almost the beginning of
 European influence in the colonies people were
 moving west looking for more land and riches.
This is where we start to encounter a darker part of the
 American history . . .



The issues between the white settlers and      their
 aggressive movements into lands          possessed
 by the Native Americans



                         This conflict would continue
                         from colonial times all the
 way                           through till today..
The expedition of Lewis and Clark…

  Sent by Thomas Jefferson,
  Washington D.C., June 20, 1803

  To Meriwether Lewis Esquire, Captain of the first regiment of
  Infantry of the United States of America.The Object of your
  mission is to explore the Missouri river & such principal stream of
  it as by it's course and communication with the waters of the
  Pacific ocean, whether the Columbia, Oregon, Colorado or any
  other river may offer the most direct & practicable water
  communication across this continent for the purpose of
  commerce.
  http://www.lewis-clark.org/content/content-article.asp?ArticleID=3018


Explored the lands from Missouri to the Pacific Ocean

Embarked with the Presidents word to explore and
 document the land and the Indians that occupy that land.
When they returned the men did not gain the praise
 that we give them today.



But…
They opened up a whole immense landmass that
 changed the American Landscape figuratively and
 literally.
American west
With the opening of the west people that lacked
 sufficient land and possessions could now have a
 piece of land to cultivate and live freely.




People started to move fast and furious throughout the
 west settling in areas.


Towns popped up BIG and small. Famous and
  ghostly empty.
All pushing forward with the idea of Manifest Destiny
  behind their actions.




   John Gast
The west was involved in monstrous capital endeavors

From the goldrush . . .




The creation of the transcontinental railroad




 The forgotten trading offursfrom the earliest of
 western expansion throughout the whole of the
 history of the American West.
While all of this was going on the tensions between the
 settlers and the Native Americans became more and
 more elevated.



                               The famous men with
                               names like Custer,
                               Sitting Bulland Crazy
                               horse        have
 become                               synonymous with
 the                           times and battles that
                               had endured.
In 1890 the census was taken and what came from
  this was the end of a clear line of expansion of the
  west.




People who were once scattered throughout this
 rugged land now were coming together to create the
 next great American landscape.
What started to develop towards the end of the
 western expansion were great stories of great men.




These tall tales turned into movement where men
 where idolized and glorified for their adventures in
 the west, fictional or not
The fiction continued and resurged into Hollywood.

                        Larger than life men were
                              recreated by movies
 and                                 stories.

The west itself became
     jumping point for many young
     actors portraying frontier men
     and cowboys.
Hollywood itself pushed a fair amount of knowledge
 forward. . .

                        Most of their stories pulled
                        from the fantasy aspects of
 the                    West . . .

They did create a buzz around                    the
 history and keep popular a                      time
 in American History that                        is
 almost forgotten about as
      being important.
The west itself is a place that will be changing with the
American mindset yet still having it represent this magical
place of beauty and adventure . . .
 What were the lands that Lewis and Clark explored?
 West of the Missouri
               To explore a route via water to
 the Pacific
 When did Westward movement start in
 the Americas?
 The moment Christopher Columbus
          arrived !
Is the American West what we all can picture from
  movies and t.v. shows ?

 OR

 Is is a very complex and still changing to this day ?
