Problem
You will find under the LESSONS tab under Unit One a document entitled Young Women Homesteaders and the Promise of the West. This features excerpts from the diaries of women who moved west and tried to farm the land-homestead.
Write on a word processor a short paper in which you explain what you think about the experiences of these women? What do you think about their hardships and the advantages they had through the experience?
Most importantly, what do you think about their experiences? Could you see yourself in their shoes, risking everything to go west and contending with the same environment that they confronted? What have you learned about the American past from their experiences? I want to see your reactions, thoughts, and analysis.
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
