A blow to the head, a wound on the hand, and an arrow to the shoulder. These 3 key evidences show that Otzi the Iceman was assassinated. X-rays show that there is an arrowhead in his shoulder. This caused a blood clot that could have helped Otzi’s death. There was also damage to the head.
Third, the cold weather has caused me to freeze and the smoky air has messed up my senses. According to Document C, the air inside the huts is very smoky, but cannot be let outside because of the lack of opening and the cold air. This means that soldiers are constantly breathing in smoky air, which is not good for their health. The cold weather itself also causes a threat because without the proper clothing the freezing temperatures can cause sickness.
The Valley Forge winter was one of the coldest and harshest in American history, with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing and snowfall amounting to several feet. The trials of living in such conditions were compounded by the lack of adequate clothing, blankets or shelter, which led many soldiers to fall ill or die from exposure. Thirdly, desertion became a major issue at Valley Forge. The harsh conditions combined with the sense of hopelessness and despair were a powerful demotivator, and many soldiers gave up and absconded from the camp. Desertion was a significant problem in the Continental Army as a whole, but it was particularly pronounced at Valley Forge, where soldiers were faced with a bleak and unrelenting situation.
There were harsh winters and brutal summers; and back in those days, there wasn’t much to keep people warm, or cool. Martin
They stayed in the same area in the dead of winter in huts such as the soldiers dwelled in. They stated the huts were not necessarily comfortable but not cold enough where one might freeze to death. Each winter varies and from one year to the next temperatures may be colder or harsher than the year before. The volunteers that conducted this experiment were probably fully clothed and possessed all the proper necessities needed as well. So although they tried to reenact the lives these soldiers lived; it doesn’t necessarily mean they did not experience harsh living conditions.
Questions from 6th grade students: 1. How did the soldiers and George Washington survive the winter? The Encampment at Valley Forge was a rural area that had open fields and woods. The soldiers in George Washington’s Army cut down the farmer’s trees to build log huts (1,600 to 1,7000 huts) and built fires for warmth.
First, the huts were cold! “It was the week before Christmas 1777. The first job of the men was to build log huts. Each hut was 16’ by 14’ with a door at one end, a stick and clay fireplace at the other, and no windows. Each hut slept twelve men.
The freezing soldiers lay around on the cold hard ground; some are wrapped in their tattered rags while others are vomiting, having fatigue and starving from lack of food. Despite these grim conditions, however, their ambitions towards freedom disguised their miserable life in camp. The winter of 1777 at Valley Forge was tough for Washington and his men. They lived in extremely poor weather conditions with a deficient amount of resources to stay alive. Diseases were also spreading, and the army was in desperate need of money if they even wanted to dream of defeating Britain.
and he said you have to tie the knights not too tight because it's cold out and you don’t want to sit there trying to untie knots but you have to tie it to a sturdy tree branch or a big stick that has fallen from a tree. You would have to have a heated blanket and then maybe try to find a heated sleeping bag that would keep you kind of warm while you were sleeping. It must have been pretty rough on them especially if there was a storm. John Colter had to try to survive in the freezing cold, and
David Laskin’s The Children’s Blizzard explains the devastating force of an intense blizzard, which caught several people unprepared, and it tells the tragic stories of these people. On January 12, 1888 a massive blizzard struck the center of North America, killing between 250 to 500 people and affecting thousands. There were many factors that made this blizzard exceptionally deadly. Many farmers and children who were outside were unprepared to deal with any cold conditions, “a day when children had raced to school with no coats or gloves and farmers were far from home doing chores they had put off during the long siege of cold” (Laskin 2).
Frozen, stiff, mummified and looking very much like honey-soy chicken pieces. So no, it 's not barbequed food and definitely not chicken but a body of a man found high up in the Italian Alps; Mount Otzal. The discovered body, named Otzi, has been classically called: The Iceman. Originally when the mountaineers found him in 1991, they thought he was a missing hiker but to their delight, they had just stumbled across a remarkable historical find.
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a motif very commonly used is ice and cold. Ice and cold can be used to represent the mental instability and inhumane activities throughout the story. Ice and cold can also be symbolized as lack of love and death throughout the story. Throughout the story there are many events of someone dying or of inhumane activities. Ice and cold also represent isolation and seclusion which occurred very often throughout the story.
Elaine stopped to pose for a photograph alongside a sign at the trailhead’s entrance that posted instructions for garbage; pack it in, pack it out, a caution sign for hikers about entering an unmaintained trail, and finally something about a warning of bear sightings. As Jack snapped a few pictures I could sense the eagerness and anticipation as they’re body language spoke of excitement of what was yet to come. It was shaping up to be a cold, wet journey and fortunately I was prepared for most anything Mother Nature could dish out on this mid-September day. I could see Holly feeling the cold as she tensed her hands under the cuffs of her newly acquired soft shell jacket. It was 47 degrees and there was no sign of sunshine and no guarantee that it would be any warmer 1,200 feet higher on the summit.
“Seeing” climate change in the film “Chasing Ice” through the story of glaciers is different than learning about climate change through a book or a news story. It is different because you can not only actually see the melting of the glaciers, but you can also see what happens above the Earth’s surface when below, the tectonic plates are
In the story, “To Build a Fire”, the story is set in the Yukon Trail in Northern Canada. The landscape of the trail is snowy and icy. In the story, the temperature is fifty degrees below zero. Examples of how cold it is on the trail is shown when it says in the story “As he turned to go, he forced some water from his mouth as an experiment.
