Expansion of the American West



Museum of the Western Art in Kerrville Texas







Traditionally, when one thinks of the American West, the event most likely to come to our mind is: the California Gold Rush of 1849, the cattle barons of Texas, outlaws of Tombstone, raiding Indians….and John Wayne. But the true west began with a large map of a very wide territory, known only by the Native's. This territory begins west of the big river ( Mississippi) down to the southern tip of Texas, north to North Dakota, and as far west as the Pacific Ocean.

The Expansion of the American West was build on bloodshed and struggle for survival. It was build by strong courage men, men who laid the trails that wagons traveled upon. Men who fought the land and the Indians in order to build a home for themselves and their families. The west was tamed by women, women who fought and died beside their me. Women who had the guts to face mother nature, wild Indians, and a plague or two. The west was also build by native people, who not only fought that white man who coveted their land, but they also taught the white man how to live on the land that the buffaloes once roomed. The American West was build by people of not only different colors, but also of different races that came and settled from The Expansion of the American West, is a journey in to the past of many Americans who can trace their a ancestry. On a personal note, my family tree goes back to the foundation of the United States. My great -great- grandparents traveled the Oregon Trail and settled in Oregon….

My Historical Worksheets on the American Expansion is one of discovery, of hardships, of heroes of different colors and different cultures who's struggle to over come the harsh land of the American West. The American West is about people, people who helped expand found and build what we proudly call The UNITED STATES of American.

There are other websites that offer free worksheets on the American West. Some even offer them for a yearly fee. But personally I found them lacking in one vital element, there was not enough worksheets to last a full school year. That is why I took my love of History and created my own, that I am know offering for a small fee …. It might seem a lot to some, but compared to the cost of workbook that can only be used once, my software can be used over and over again, with each child that is being privately taught by you.
