I made a winter pit house. The cedar bark teepees were semi-permanent shelters with very long strips of…

Today the land would be in the northern part of Humboldt County and continue north though much of what is…

six hundred fourteen people claim residency in Southern California. All of these millions of people have to survive off of two vital elements, food and water. Humans are able to survive two weeks without eating, but can only go for two days without water, before they die of dehydration.

Currently, Southern California is in great need of water because of the drought…

I have included a map with the state’s border and its neighbors’ borders in the appendix section at the end of the paper. I chose to name my state RedWood, this comes from the sequoia…

enough evidence to officially uncover who The Zodiac was. Due to this lack of information and wide range of evidence against every main suspect, the true Zodiac Killer will never be discovered. The Zodiac spread horror and terror throughout Northern California from 1969 to 1974 (Zodiac Killer). Although police credited him with five murders,…

California became part of the Mexican republic. Mexico Liberalized trade and immigration policies, and thereafter the number of foreigners entering the province increased.

They mixed less readily and there was less intermarriage. Not surprisingly, the Texas adventure affected Mexican attitudes towards immigrating Anglos. Anglo-American trade with…

We are always being compared between northern and southern Californians. Being from Monterey Park…
