Settling the West
Is History a History of Progress?
This image is a picture of the wagon trail in Western United States. I chose this picture because it relates to the time in history known as Settling the West. This relates because the whole point of settling the west was when Americans and other immigrants from around the world traveled to Western United States in search of land. To get to the Western side of the country families had to hop on a wagon and travel on the trail known as the Wagon Trail to reach their destination. This trail was sometimes very dangerous because there would be theifs along the trail trying to steal some of the travelers valuable belongings.
