Founded by an escaped slave, John J. Neimore, The California Eagle was one of the oldest and longest running Black newspaper in Los Angeles, California. Under the direction of Neimore, the newspaper was first called, “The California Owl.” The newspaper was started to help ease the transitions of black settlers to the West. Settlers only had to check the paper to find information about housing, jobs, and other information to make living in the west less complicated. The newspaper became one of the leading papers of the era later under the control of Charlotta A. Bass, who took control of the paper after the death of Neimore in 1912.
For over 40 years the life and times of the Australian Bushranger, Ben Hall has held my imagination. My first introduction to the name Ben Hall came about by my father when on a long drive from our home in Queensland to our former Victorian home following my fathers service in Viet Nam, and our first opportunity as a family to visit my grandmothers and the wider family of Uncles, Auntys and Cousins, and to recover my sister who was holidaying at the family 's holiday home at Phillip Island. As for anyone who has taken the long road anywhere, a car ride of such distance could be tiresome, not with my father, who had a great interest in the early history of Australia and as well as a wider interest in world history. (something I have inherited) He was a collector of weapons from the earliest periods relating to our country and those which flooded the colony during the great gold rushes of the 1850 's - 1860 's, the Colts Revolvers, Lee Enfield Rifles, The Brown

The Northern Spotted owl is the largest of the three subspecies of spotted owls. They are medium sized, dark brown owls with barred tails and white spots on their head and breast. The males are slightly larger than the females and are often confused with the barred owl. They are primarily nocturnal but still forage opportunistically during the day.
The American Bald Eagle was not uncommon to people around the world although not many had encountered a real and living one. It was because the image of the eagle was featured everywhere, especially to those related to the United States. The bald eagle was a metaphor for the United States in many occasions. The image of the eagle was featured on the Great Seal of the United States and the Seal of the President States. It could also be found on logos of various departments of the federal government, federal documents, letterheads, uniforms of soldiers and embassy and even on the one-dollar bill.
Bald eagles are found in many environments in the United States. Those environments include deserts, mountains, freshwater, and marine areas. Bald eagles are known to build very large nests in treetops and always near water. The main source of food for bald eagles is fish, but they will sometimes eat other small animals.

A hill of aspens, glowing golden, shines on the right side of the trail while the left side is a pine-covered hill. Between the two is the trail, a magical escape from reality. This is my sanctuary, of Buffalo Peaks wilderness. The trying experience of hiking through the mountains with 40 pounds on your back, the straps of your pack rubbing the skin off your hips and shoulders. The tension building in your muscles as you struggle under the weight.
The eagle happens to be a symbol of America, and it could represent the fact that Native Americans were forced out of their land and brutally slaughtered, perhaps Jackson’s cruelest feat of all. Native Americans lived peacefully until Jackson’s presidency. Then, he forced them to leave. Some protested and tried to stick their ground, but Jackson herded the Cherokee out of their homes in Georgia and led the, across what was named the Trail of Tears. Four thousand innocent Native Americans died, and as the eagle is their symbol, the eagle could represent Native Americans being
There are many natural disasters that affect the world, for example, volcanoes. Mount St. Helens is known to be the most active volcano in the Cascade Range in Washington; effecting the people and the state. It was first recognized as a volcano in 1835! Before the eruption on May 18,1980, Mount St. Helens was a beautiful symmetrical cone, 3,000 meters above sea level. For most of the 20th century, many people viewed this mountain and recreation area as a beautiful and peaceful place, but after the volcano erupted in 1980 that view point was shattered.
An eagle protects his young similar to the way Hektor protects the city of Troy. An eagle would soar to any length to protect his young. He would attack anything even if it meant his death. An Eagle brings his prey back to his nest while a warrior brings back his geras to his people to prove he was victorious.
The human connection to birds is a fascinating thing that is often depicted in stories. Humans want to be free like birds and fly away from the troubles that are present in their life. Birds reflect the image of freedom in life, so it’s no wonder that the Bald Eagle is the emblem of the United States; a country built on the principles of freedom and equality. Two famous poets by the names of Paul Laurence Dunbar and Maya Angelou used the image of the bird to describe how they felt in their own life. Even though Dunbar wrote in the Reconstruction Era and Angelou wrote around the time of the Civil Rights Movement, their ideas were almost identical.
The woman warrior was an interesting novel of memoirs that gave her audience a new perspective on feminine values, and while there might have been various themes throughout this book, the main focus revolved around Kingston's femininity and struggles of finding one's own, personal voice. Throughout its five chapters there are numerous references to her everyday emotional and physical struggles of growing up as a chinese woman.
