WALKER ABSTRACT The eighty-six years from 1860-1945 was a momentous one in American Indian history. During this period, the United States fully settled the western portion of the continent. As time went on, the United States ceased its wars against Indian tribes and began to deal with them as potential parts of American society. Within the military, this can be seen in the gradual change in Indian roles from mostly ad hoc forces of scouts and home guards to regular soldiers whose recruitment was as much a part of the United States’ war plans as that of any other group.

  • A Teacher's Guide to Archway Adventure
    A Teacher’s Guide to Archway Adventure The Archway was designed with tour groups of all ages in mind. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your student field trip to the Archway. Scheduling your time at the Archway Though it is “self-guided”, we find that the Archway’s historical tour can take as little as 1.25 hours or as much as 1.75 hours depending on the stops you make and pace you set. In addition, when planning your tour, please consider the following: When your group arrives, you will first want to send them to the restrooms. There are no restroom facilities available on the tour. Depending on the size of the group, this will take some time, 10 minutes, or so If you have a group of 20 or more, we’ll want to split up into smaller groups of 10-12. This will take 5 minutes, or so We’ll give each group an orientation to the audio guide before sending them on the tour. This will take 5 minutes, or so. You may want to consider additional time to prepare your students with pre-tour instructions or questions to focus their thinking and stimulate discussion. If you add a reenactment, it will take an additional 15-20 minutes. Other special programs take up to 45 minutes. Grouping students If you have a group of 15-20 students, or more, please consider breaking into smaller groups that can each be accompanied by at least one adult. Adults can be charged with: Helping with audio equipment Keeping the group to a reasonable pace – Adult “Trail Bosses” lead the group and don’t allow students to race ahead of them.

XI Denver, Colorado, March, 1934 No. 2 Catching Wild Horses HOMER HOYT* Having been asked by a representative of the Colorado State Historical Rociety to cl('serilJP the method of catching wild horses. f will endeavor to do so. As the wild horse is almost a thing of the past, soon there will be no one living competent to describe the process authoritatively. There are few men now living who have had a very wide experience in catching wild horses. Among them I will mention two whom I consider the very highest authority, Mr. Thomas A. Hightower, now living in California, and Mr. Wal­ ter Harris Brown. I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Brown. At last report, in the late '90s, he was at Cripple Creek, Colorado, with a herd of burros to sell to the miners. I received my first tutelage from Mr. Jerry McGahan, com­ monly known throughout the United States as "Wild Horse" .Terry. He usually corralled his horses either at his home ranch five miles west of Pawnee Buttes, Weld County, Colorado, or at Indian Cave, twenty miles east of the Buttes. In the summer of 1886 Bob and Tom Hightower went to the Panhandle of 'l'exas, chased around all summer and caught noth­ ing, although they both were first class wild horse men. The reason for failure was shortage of saddle stock. In the spring of 1887 the brothers asked mr to join them as I had several saddle horses.
