    The city of Waltham is located in the west of Massachusetts, approximately 11 miles north-west of downtown Boston, along the Charles River and its several dams.

    Timber is very much a timeless document in that similar struggles still occur today in Oregon. After this Summer of fire, I’ve heard a lot of anti-environmentalist rhetoric coming from people I know in Central and Eastern Oregon. Released just before an important vote in congress, the magazine appeals to both logic and emotion by reminding the reader of their own livelihood. It furthers its purpose by supporting citizen activism and encouraging political participation. Overall, the magazine represents the feelings and concerns of many Oregonians pertaining to the Environmental Species Act. There’s still restaurants, off the I-5 corridor, serving spotted owl burgers and selling chainsaw art.…

    Washington State's economic policies throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century contributed significantly to the region's socioeconomic landscape. These practices harmed the indigenous population even if they gave riches and expansion to European settlers. In this context, it is worthwhile to examine two such laws: the Mining Law of 1872 and the Homestead Act of 1862. The Homestead Act, which was passed on May 20, 1862, gave free land to qualified applicants in an effort to promote settlement in the United States' western territories.…

    The geography of Washington is shown with the creation of the railroad. People who came to Washington saw the great wheat belt or all the other signs of great agriculture so they would start their own farm and harvest wheat or fruit or any other food (Artifact C). Logging was also common and this brought deforestation of forests. There was many logging companies that all cut down trees so the outcome of all these logging companies was a huge loss of trees in Washington. A Scandinavian article says that Washington has more fertile land, better forests, rich mines, and great fruit harvesting and orchard growing (Artifact G). Railroads line the state of Washington, cutting through the mountains and forest and going through towns which helps with transportation and changes the geography (Artifact W). When the terminus of the railroad was decided to be put in Tacoma settlers boosted the town but with the gold rush people started moving to Seattle and Seattle was able to grow faster and be the bigger city (Artifact Y). The growing of farms and lumber companies changed the geography of Washington.…

    During the time over the 1800s and the early 1900s, there were many large issues that appeared over time as the United States started to grow larger and larger. One of the main things was the increasing amount of children joining the workforce, due to their families not being able to support themselves due to raise in housing. The children were often given pennies a day, much less then what an adult would make, and missed out on learning and important opportunities such as reading and writing. The kids would have to work in a hazardous environment, often with pollutants in the air and dangerous machinery.…
