Maybe me? Maybe not the right time? maybe the book? Whatever the reason, it is a #bail I‘ll try again in the future but in my birthday month, I‘m only reading what I‘m loving. #Roll100

It was interesting but didn‘t exactly go in the direction I wanted it to go. Still, a good read about a part of American history that is never mentioned in school.

The Lamar and Hayden Valley areas are known a the American Serengeti. The open plains, the wildlife, the understanding of America as an amazing landscape. If you have seen this, it can be hard to believe that we almost lost it in the late nineteenth century. George Bird Grinnell is one of the men we can thank for saving this precious resource. He recognized that without proper conservation, the American West would be plundered into devastation.

I feel generally disappointed with American public school history curriculum. I do not remember studying the French and Indian War (aka The Seven Years War in Europe) in any significant way. But this short history shows how the changing alliances and enormous expenses of this conflict formed the foundation for American independence. The pic depicts the amphibious Battle of Quebec.

Ruthiella I remember learning about it , albeit briefly. But in elementary school. You really need to be older to grasp the complexity of history. 4mo

I would use this book to talk about ancient, oral storytelling, culture, and to emphasize the main lesson of embracing your talents within and purpose of life. I would have a discussion with students about how we are all unique and can be made to do many amazing, yet different, things and that staying true to yourself and your passions is so important.

“The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush is a great example of a folktale in traditional literature. This book is considered a folktale because it told based off of oral tradition with no known author, had a common/happy ending, contained magical elements, contained a narrative (told a story), and can be used to teach a lesson. The lesson of this book is about being able to recognize and follow your talents and purpose in life, seeing them as unique.

OK historical narrative but I expected it to be more interesting. She met some kind people among them.

Starting this short account of a woman's captivity by the Sioux [Dakota or other] right after the Indian troubles in Minnesota in 1862.
