    Campos: Story Of The Trolley Dodgers

    The first article was about the Trolley Dodgers. In 1890, they joined the National League. Unfortunately, for them they did not have the finances to compete with teams like the New York Yankees. The Dodgers’ losing went on for about 70 years. As a result, they moved to Los Angeles in 1958; what we know today as the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In the closeout interview by Peter O’Malley (the former owner), he was grateful for all the employees that worked for him, especially Edward Campos.

    Mission San Luis Research Paper

    Mission San Luis was found to be the only settlement besides St. Augustine to house hundreds of Spanish residents among the Florida’s native people for at least three generations. It was known to early Europeans as the Apalachees native “Capital” village which was active from 1656 to 1704. In 1656 the Apalachee Indians decided to move their village to the second highest hill in present-day Tallahassee, where Mission San Luis is currently located off Tennessee Street. Using groups of palm-thatches, they quickly built their village. The central plaza was where ceremonies, business dealings, and ballgames were held. The largest building was the council house that could hold up to 3,000 people. The council house was where the chiefs held their…

    The Influence Of El Camino: Community College

    El Camino maybe one of many community colleges in the South Bay Area but what defines it is it's somewhat professional air around it. El Camino maybe a community college but it has the same feeling as though you are in a four-year. I wouldn't be surprised by the time that I am a full grown adult that El Camino will be known as a CSU because it's still building to accommodate new buildings just like any other four year university and and I believe that people are starting to notice all the opportunities that will come with attending El Camino. The most recent example which shows how highly recommended El Camino is was when I was going to Dominguez Hills to ask what would better my chance to to attend their school and the admissions Office lady…

    Columbus and De la Casas

    Columbus and de la Casas make two very different observations of the new world. Columbus made many detailed descriptions in his letter to the King Ferdinand, who had financed his journey with the intentions of completing three very clear goals. The first, “to procure riches for the Spanish empire,” the second, “to find a new route to the East Indies,” and lastly, “to convert native peoples to Christianity (Casper et al., 4).” de la Casas had a much different intention than Columbus for why he journeyed to the new world. He traveled as a son of a poor merchant and observed all of the wrong doings that were happening to the native people. He later returned to Spain for the remainder of his life to write about all of the awful things that happened in these overtaking’s. He wrote a book titled, The Very Brief Relation of the Devastation of the Indies. It was written “based on his own testimony advocating a new legal code in 1542 (Casper et al., 9).”…
