1, 600 AD. American Indians lived on the Great Plains for thousands of years, hunting bison on foot. Cow skins, cow hair, and cow bones provided the Indians with raw materials for making tents, clothes, weapons, and tools. When the Indians hunted bison, they first built a "corral", that is, a sturdy wooden fence, and then looked for an opportunity to herd the cattle into the fence. Be careful while wielding animal skins and spears with pointed stones on top to avoid being trampled to death by angry bison or provoked by sharp horns.
2, 1800 years. European immigrants looked at the Plains of the Americas, and the lives of the Indians changed a lot. The Spaniards brought horses, and riding a horse made itself as fast as a bison and made it easier to hunt bison. The Indians began to buy, sell, steal, and raise horses, which sparked conflict between tribes. Some tribes began sneaking up on others, stealing their meat and food. In addition to using bows and arrows and spears, they can also use guns.
3, the Sioux Indians set up tents and built camps where they found their bison herds. At this time, the men began to prepare the horses and tools for the next day's hunt, and the women began to clean up the bison skins and prepare them for tents, clothes, pockets, etc. The bison skin should be spread out and dried, and the bone scraper can clean the bison skin. Fresh bison meat becomes their main food when dried. The conical tent was covered with animal skins on the ground to protect it from moisture and keep warm, and the old man told the children about the history of the tribe.
4, In the 1840s, a group of white immigrants came from the far east to the west, hoping to find a fertile land. Their ranks consisted of caravans, with mules, horses, and cattle being the main pullers. When night fell, they circled the caravans, hoping to keep the night-attacking beasts out. The men repaired caravans and fed the cattle, using maps to see the route for the next day. The women cooked over a fire with cowmanter and ate the dry food they brought.
5 People from the east to the west of Oregon and California experience hunger, thirst, heat, winter and even cholera. The Indians would exchange them for luxuries such as blankets, guns, beads, mirrors, etc. with bison skins and beef jerky. When gold was discovered in California in 1848, too many people flocked to it, but few people returned home. Towns gradually form around the mining area, but become ruins as the gold diggers leave. In order to encourage people to settle down in the plains, the Homestead Act was enacted in the United States in 1862. Build a house here and live there for five years and you'll get 160 acres of land. In the 1860s, thousands of whites and blacks settled here. These whites may have come from the eastern states or from Eastern Europe. Because of the lack of wood, dirt was used to build houses. The estates are located a few kilometres apart, so every time a guest comes in, they are warmly welcomed.
6, The Indians were furious that the whites had occupied their territory and would attack the manor, but the American cavalry from the nearby fortress would support the farm, and eventually the Indians were driven to smaller and smaller territories. There was war between the Indians and the white colonists. A few years passed, and the former manor house developed into a small town, and a railway was built, and more people settled here and started a business. The town has churches, bars, and primary schools. By the 1870s, with the construction of the railway, the town developed rapidly. Because the railway could bring more wood, the town built more houses, shops, and hotels. The town also became an important cattle trading point. The cowboy in charge of herding the cattle can also spend a few days in the town after completing the task.
7, the town has become bigger, but no one is responsible for legal and policing issues. Robbers often come to stir up trouble, and cowboys often fight and fight in drinking and gambling. So the local people spontaneously organized to catch the criminals and hang the perpetrators, this kind of organization is called the security committee. But such private organizations inevitably declare personal vendettas, so the U.S. government sends law enforcement officials to help rectify the situation, and in fact some of them are criminals themselves.
8th, early 20th century. It was a time of development and prosperity. The town has become a bustling and noisy city. There are large department stores, cinemas and "five-cent theaters" where cowboy stories are shown. Trams and horse-drawn carriages coexist, and there are still people riding horses on the streets, and there are also many private cars.
9, Today, this place has become a modern metropolis, and the "Wild West" can only be found in theme parks.
