RE: Adsactly Education - Missouri River Part 2

in #education6 years ago

Horses made buffalo hunting relatively easy and allowed vast populations to roam the plains in a relatively nomadic way, without depending on the river...

Horses are one of the oldest ways to be used as a transportation. Even today they are being used in a same way. Can you believe it with today’s transportation technology? When I travel to Pennsylvania to pass by one of the Amish city’s you can see it all over.
Exactly like that:

Great and educational article about history of Missouri River. About Bourgmont being first to travel up the Missouri and actually being the first to call the river by that name. How Missouri River was involved in a war with France against England and Spain. How eventually American army got involved. About the Lewis and Clark expedition and the way how the Missouri River was drawn on the map. I even get to read a short story about your grandfather 😆.

Ahhh. Thank you.

Horses made some of the Plains Indians into a highly mobile society. There is no question that it was a huge turning point for the Sioux and many other tribes.
