Congressman Bishop began the seminar by discussing public lands and his continued work on the projects that he believes benefit Utah. He described the issue by first displaying a map of the amount of land that is considered public lands in the west in comparison to the land in the east. By and large, the east has little public lands and the west has a considerable amount. Congressman Bishop explained that this is because when the Eastern states joined the union they were given their land back to them. When the federal government did not give the land back a couple of eastern states sued the federal government and received their land.

In Nevada, the Governor of the State of Nevada is the highest state office.
The history of Latinos in Utah is complex, but it is also a history that is neither well represented in mainstream recounting nor well recognized in the mainstream understanding of Utah’s past. Convoluted interactions among Native Americans, Spaniards, French, Mexicans, Anglos, and others shaped the story of Utah. Awareness of the long presence of Hispanics in Utah is essential to understanding the history of the state. This volume is an attempt to piece together that history through photos and oral histories.

Susan Rhoades Neel - A Place of Extremes: Nature, History, and the American West In her essay, Susan Rhoades Neel examines the significance of the environment of the American West when shaping western history by referring to and analyzing regional approaches claimed by Webb, Limerick, Worster, and White in order to deemphasize Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier thesis. In fact, most historians may regard Turner's theory as the most influential and adequate one in attempting at giving meaning to the mythical territory of western America as it offers a common sense for the entire American nation. Nonetheless, because of the particular emphasis on nature and the human - nature relation, new approaches have been developed in order to outline

Between 1830's and 1840's the life of the California Indians were brought down, and the wealthy Californios enjoyed the benefits. Since in 1824, a California governor tried to force the separation of Indians and the missions, and soldiers killed many Californian natives for their resistance. In 1833, General Jose Figueroa, governor of California, approved the law of secularization, which was the decision to take away the lands from the Missions and give them to the natives. This decision affected 18,000 mission Indians because most of them depended on the missions. With the secularization, Indians gained their freedom and received part of the missions' land; however, the natives did not have money and tools to work the land; thus, some
I scrolled through the list of articles and found one that was about Utah, so I felt obligated to read an article about the best state in America. The article is about Women 's Suffrage and the Constitutional Convention for Utah 's statehood. In 1870 Utah was the second state/territory to allow women to vote (the Wyoming Territory) but the right to vote was removed by the federal government in 1887 with the Edmunds-Tucker Act. This act was passed to prevent the LDS church from practicing polygamy but the act removed women 's right to vote.

Europeans had moved from the Eastern industrialized areas to the natural location of Colorado with dreams of a mineral rich future. With every type of person from every walk of life, Colorado became a melting pot of different ethnicities. Even with Native Americans, who had not been pushed out of the region, staying and giving up their ancestral ties to integrate within European society6.

Even with these negatives that plagued the state in the past, the economy flourished within and the population massively increased, resulting in it being 5.356 million as of 2014.
When we think of the American West, we always envision a land of rugged mountains and vast prairie, on which cowboys ride on horseback and chase after the Indians. This is the definition of the American West as presented on big screens in cinema, where most Americans’ perception of the myth of the American West comes from.
