THE WILD WEST
In the beginning...
When the first white men arrived in the new world [America] from the Old world [Europe], they came across high cheek boned, deeply suntanned natives, who they later nicknamed 'Red Indians'. These were the first ever to live in America and lived there alone for centuries. Did you know that they weren't called red Indians because of their skin color, but because of the red war paint they wore when going out?

It is however important to tell you that from very early on there were 2 main types of Indians-Forest and Prairie- and they both lived in very different ways..

The White Man discovered the Native Americans (Red Indians)in the 16th Century. They were by no means foolish, they knew how to use stone, wood, skin and bone for their weapons and household objects, but knew absolutely nothing about Metal. The men knew how to get their women [squaws] to carry all the heavy loads, all about fire to cook and keep them warm.
Below is a list of the major tribes and where they originated from;

Apache - South Plains, South West, East

Cherokee - East Tennessee, North Carolina

Cheyenne - Plains

Chinook - North West Pacific coast

Iroquois - North East

Mohawk - New York

Navajo - New Mexico, Arizona, Utah

Sioux - Plains
Where can we find these tribes?

During Willa Cather's era, Women were supposed to be good wives and loving mothers. They had to cook, do the household, give birth to children and look after them. They had to listen to their husbands.

Feminism
Presence of American modernism in My Àntonia
The way that Willa Cather,in Jim's eyes, is describing the environment at the beggining of the story, you know how his surrounding looks like. You have a net description when it is spring/summer; day/night etc. And this is a part of this literary movement, the realism.

The second hint is also in relation with realism because Willa is telling the truth about everything, such as the way of life of immigrants and bohemians at this time, want kind of events can happen in town (dance club). This type of writing is a good thing if you want to make this reader believe that your story is true if it is a fiction.
American Modernism
American modernism is a literary movement in relation with realism .

It is a style that affirms the power of Humans in creating, redefining their environment, with the aid of concrete things, such as scientific knowledge.

American modernism is also an artistic and cultural movement in the United States who started at the beggining of 20th century between World War I and World War II and still continuing in the 21th Century

Jesse James
Jesse Woodson James was born on the 5th of September in 1847
He was an American outlaw, gang leader, bank and train robber, and murderer from the state of Missouri and the most famous member of the James-Younger Gang. Already a celebrity when he was alive, he became a legendary figure of the Wild West after his death.

His assassination
They continued in crime for several years, recruiting new members, but were under increasing pressure from law enforcement.
On the 3rd of April 1882, Jesse James was killed by a member of his own gang, Robert Ford, who hoped to collect a reward on James' head.

The James brothers became a staple in dime novels of the era, peaking in the 1880s following Jesse's death. James has often been used as a fictional character in many Western novels, including some published while he was alive. For instance, in Willa Cather's My Antonia, the narrator reads a book entitled 'Life of Jesse James' - probably a dime novel.
~Just A Quote~
During his travel to the "Wilde West," Oscar Wilde visited Jesse James' hometown in Missouri. Learning that James had been assassinated by his own gang member, "...an event that sent the town into mourning and scrambling to buy Jesse's artifacts," "romantic appeal of the social outcast" in his mind, Wilde wrote in one of his letters to home that: "Americans are certainly great hero-worshippers, and always take heroes from the criminal classes."
THE END

CLIMATE
Nebraska has a continental climate, with highly variable temperatures from season to season and year to year. The central region has an average annual normal temperature of 10°C with a normal monthly maximum of 24°C in July and a normal monthly minimum of-6°C in January. The record low for the state is -44°C // highest 48°C was recorded at Minden on 24 July 1936.
Blizzards, droughts, and windstorms have plagued Nebraskans throughout their history.

French fur traders first visited Nebraska in the late 1600s. Part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, eastern Nebraska was explored by Lewis and Clark in 1804-1806. A few years later, Robert Stuart pioneered the Oregon Trail across Nebraska in 1812-1813, and the first permanent white settlement was established at Bellevue in 1823.
Western Nebraska was acquired by treaty following the Mexican War in 1848. The Union Pacific began its transcontinental railroad at Omaha which was the capital city of Nebraska in 1865.
In 1937, Nebraska became the only state in the Union to have a unicameral (one-house) legislature. Members are elected to it without party designation.

Population: 1,826,341 (2010) Nebraska, which was admitted to the union as the 37th state on March 1, 1867, two years after the end of the American Civil War, contains some of the nation's best ranchland and farmland.
Nebraska is the only state with a nonpartisan, unicameral legislature. Nebraska has been governing by a single-house legislature since 1937.Nebraska is a leading grain-producer with bumper crops of sorghum, corn, and wheat.

CAPITAL CITY
Lincoln, located in the southeastern part of the State of Nebraska, is the capital and the second-most populous city of Nebraska.Lincoln was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster.

Black Hawk was a war leader and warrior of the Sauk American Indian tribe in what is now the Midwest of the United States. The Chiefs of this tribe fell into three categories: civil, war, and ceremonial, but only the civil chief was hereditary. The other two chiefs were determined by demonstrating their ability or their spiritual power.
During the War of 1812, Black Hawk had fought on the side of the British against the U.S., hoping to push the latter's settlers away from Sauk territory. Later he led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors, known as the British Band, against European-American settlers in Illinois and present-day Wisconsin in the 1832 Black Hawk War. After the war, he was captured by U.S. forces and taken to the eastern U.S. He and other war leaders were taken on tour of several cities. Black Hawk died in 1838 (at age 70 or 71) in what is now southeastern Iowa. He has been honored by an enduring legacy: his book, many eponyms, and other tributes.
The Great Plains is the broad expanse of flat land, much of it covered in prairie, steppe and grassland, that lies west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States and Canada. The Canadian portion of the Plains is known as the Prairies. The region is about 500 mi (800 km) east to west and 2,000 mi (3,200 km) north to south, and is known for supporting extensive ranching and agriculture. In general, the Great Plains have a wide variety of weather through the year, with very cold and harsh winters and very hot and humid summers. Wind speeds are often very high, especially in winter. People have converted much of the prairies for agricultural purposes or to create pastures. The Great Plains have dust storms mostly every year or so.
