When he was 24, he heard about the newly purchased land of Louisiana, from France. The land was rich with beaver, and companies were hiring young men to hunt them. Beckwourth signed up without hesitation. Having this job however, would not be easy, as it was very cold in the mountains, and the food was short. Grizzly bears and mountain lions were also roaming the heights. The Mountain Men found it much easier to survive when in native american clothes. The men would trade for the clothing, but Beckwourth wanted to take it further. Beckwourth started living in a crow indian village. He joined a small group crows, got married to a crow, and even fought for a native american battle. When the other mountain men hadn't seen him in years, they assumed he was dead. However, men noticed him at a local trading center one day. Over the years he became a high ranked Chief. As he got older, he started looking for a new life, becoming a scout, a miner, and much more. In 1856, he released his autobiography, "The Life and Adventures of James P. Beckwourth." (He didn't even make a dime.) He eventually returned to the crow territory, where he died in 1866 at the age of 68.]]> 2023-01-26 18:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/calebpilarski/qsyhxjnvhv0cmdr8/wish/2458064555 calebpilarski https://padlet.com/calebpilarski/qsyhxjnvhv0cmdr8/wish/2465063866 William Thompson was a railroad worker, working for the Union Pacific. In August 1867, he and his co-workers received a message saying something was wrong with the telegraph lines in the railroads. At around 9:00 PM, Thompson and 5 others took a hand car and left the Plum Creek Staton. It didn't take to long for them to realize there was a log on the rail, bumping their hand car and flying them in the air. ]]> 2023-02-01 18:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/calebpilarski/qsyhxjnvhv0cmdr8/wish/2465063866
