Two years into his presidency, Jefferson asked Congress to fund an expedition through the Louisiana Purchase and beyond; to the Pacific Ocean. The expedition’s goals were: • Explore the Louisiana Purchase; • Establish trade and U.S. sovereignty over the native peoples along the Missouri River; “To find the most direct & • Establish a U.S. claim of “Discovery” to the Pacific Northwest and practicable water communication Oregon Territory by documenting an American presence there before across this continent, for the Europeans could claim the land; purposes of commerce.” • Seek out a “Northwest Passage” Thomas Jefferson,POTUS Jefferson also understood the U.S. would have a better claim of RE: the Lewis and Clark Expedition, ownership to the Pacific Northwest if the expedition gathered scientific a.k.a. the Corps of Discovery data on indigenous animals and plants. The U.S. mint prepared special Expedition (1804–1806). It was the first silver medals (with a portrait of Jefferson) which had a message of transcontinental expedition to the friendship and peace, called Indian Peace Medals or Peace Medals.The Pacific coast undertaken by the United Corps was entrusted to distribute them to the Indian nations they met States. Led by U.S. Army Captain Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,it who did not know/understand that these coins symbolized U.S. was commissioned in 1803 by sovereignty over them. The expedition carried advanced weapons (to President Thomas Jefferson 5 display their firepower) including a powerful 0.44 caliber air rifle. 6 1 Vilest Miscreants of the Savage Race Meriwether Lewis (left) and William Clark (right). Lewis was the leader of the expedition selecting Clark as his partner. 7 8 “All earlier Missouri River travelers had warned of this powerful and aggressive tribe, determined to block free trade on the river...The Sioux were also expecting a retaliatory raid from the Omaha Indians, to the south. A recent Sioux raid had killed 75 Omaha men, burned 40 lodges, and taken four dozen prisoners.” Harry W.

Soon they passed La Charrette, the last American settlement on William Clark, August 24th 1804 the Missouri River. The Lewis and Clark Expedition established friendly relations with two dozen indigenous nations without whose help the expedition would have starved to death or become hopelessly lost in the Rocky Mountains. The Americans and the Lakota nation (whom the Americans called Sioux, short for “Teton-wan Sioux”) had problems when they met coming close to fighting several times before both sides backed down. Clark wrote that they were “warlike” and 9 were the “vilest miscreants of the savage race.” 10 “...we gave them (the Sioux) some of our provisions to eat…I went in a perogue with those Chief who left the boast with great reluctians...as Soon as I landed 3 of their young men Seased the Cable of the Perogue, one Soldiar Huged the mast…and the 2d Chief was exceedingly insolent both in words and justures to me declareing I Should no go off, Saying he had not recived presents Suffient from us - I attempted to passify him but it had a contrary effect for his insults became so personal and his intentions evident to do me injurey, I Drew my Sword and ordered all hands under arms at this motion Capt.

    Beautiful Dreams, Breathtaking Visions: Drawings from the 1947-1948 Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Architectural Competition BY JENNIFER CLARK The seven-person jury seated around a table in the Old Courthouse with competition advisor George Howe in 1947. The jury met twice to assess designs and decide what the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial would look like. The designs included far more than a memorial structure. A landscaped 90-acre park, various structures, water features, a campfire theater, museum buildings, and restaurants were also part of the designs.

  • Brenda Wawok Kinsella Horton Wildfang Family Tree
    Brenda Wawok Kinsella Horton Wildfang Family Tree Ancestors of Mary Elizabeth Wiltfong, my grandmother ―The Chosen‖ We are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us.". How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying - I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family.

    A PROGRAMMATIC ASSESSMENT OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY LOW-INCOME WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Prepared by Shiva RaissiCharmakani A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science (Natural Resources and Environment) University of Michigan April 2018 Faculty Advisor: Tony G. Reames Table of Contents Abstract ii Dedications iii Acknowledgements iv Acronyms v Introduction 1 Background and Literature Review 7 Methodology 14 Discussion of the Results 19 Conclusions and Policy Implications 35 References 37 i ABSTRACT Performing energy efficiency measures in aging housing stock could save on energy bills especially in communities burdened by utility costs. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program has helped more than 7 million income-qualified households during over 40 years since its implementation in 1976, under title IV of the Energy Conservation and Production Act. The purpose of this study is to look at this program from a perspective other than benefit-cost analysis. This paper is based on analyzing the interviews conducted with leaders, supervisors, and chairpersons at four local Community Action Agencies (CAAs) in Southeast Michigan. It examines the barriers in implementing the program as well the opportunities to assist CAAs with those barriers. It also discusses the positive impacts of the program and the consequences of potential budget cuts. Currently, lack of sufficient federal funding, high number of application deferrals known as “walk-aways”,

    GATEWAY ARCH A Symbol of Westward Expansion for More Than 50 Years America’s tallest man-made monument at 630 feet, the Gateway Arch has beckoned visitors for more than 50 years with its iconic, awe-inspiring shape. The vision of renowned architect Eero Saarinen, the Arch commemorates Thomas Jefferson and St. Louis’ role in the westward expansion of the United States. Along with the Old Courthouse, it makes up the 90.96-acre Gateway Arch National Park (formerly Jefferson National Expansion Memorial). The CityArchRiver project, a $380-million plan to enhance the Arch visitor experience, is nearly complete. Visitors can now enjoy 11 new acres of parkland and over five miles of bike and walking paths, as well as the North Gateway, an outdoor natural amphitheater for events and performances. The redesigned Luther Ely Smith Square located between the Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse boasts an expanded park that stretches over the highway, leading to the Gateway Arch’s new west-facing entrance connecting the Arch directly to downtown St. Louis for the first time. The Museum at the Gateway Arch will celebrate its grand opening on July 3, 2018. Visitors to the Arch can enjoy the Tram Ride to the Top; watch the award- winning documentary Monument to the Dream, which details the Arch’s construction; take part in National Park Service interactive educational programs; and shop for memorabilia, gifts and even homemade fudge at The Arch Store, located in the Arch Visitor Center. Private events at the Gateway Arch will be available once again beginning Fall 2018.

  • Gateway National Park's Arch Is America's Tallest Monument. It Reaches a Height of 630 Feet (63 Stories Hi
    Gateway National Park’s arch is America’s tallest monument. It reaches a height of 630 feet (63 stories high) above the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. It is an engineering marvel. The St. Louis landmark had its beginning in 1933, when local business leaders wanted to enhance the city’s waterfront, which had suffered an economic downturn and dilapidation. The group’s vision was to revise the waterfront area and place a landmark there which would become known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. It would celebrate President Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. In 1935, an association, with the same name, was created to work on that vision. A political fiasco took place during the ensuing years. It caused a tearing down of a 40‐block area of the city, which contained 290 businesses. In 1940, St. Louis rivaled New York City; it was then the 8th largest city in the United States. The city of St. Louis covers a 62 square mile area. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 2016, it ranks 61st. Crime, poverty, racial tensions and an inability to infuse new business have been some of the criticisms for its drop in population and stature. However, the erection of the monument‐ arch has made it a national landmark. The monument‐arch became a reality when Eero Saarinen won a nationwide competition from 172 submissions in 1947, but delays took place. On June 23, 1959, a ground‐breaking ceremony took place, however construction didn’t begin until February 1963.
