Chapter 13
Settling the West 1865-1900
Miners
 Placer mining-used simple equipment like picks,

shovels and pans
 Quartz mining-dug deep beneath earths

surface..usually done by corporate mining
companies
 Mining led to the expansion of the West

 Nevada, Colorado, Montana and the Dakota

territory
“English” land ownership
 Native Americans had no formal “land ownership”
 When Europeans arrived this posed a problem between

the two cultures
 The “English” land ownership model was as follows:
•
•
•
•

Crown (King-Queen)
Feudal Lords
Lesser Lords
Commoners and peasants
American Land ownership
 In the United States we use a type of English format with

the Western Territories

• Government
• Land companies/Railroads
• Homesteaders-ranchers
Ranching
 Great Plains became areas for grazing cattle
 Longhorn cattle handled the environment
 Hispanic cowhands taught many cowboys

techniques and showed them tools for ranching
 Open range-land owned by the govt. that could be

used for grazing
 Long drive-process of taking cattle from TX to

Kansas for shipment east
Ch 13
Ranch wars
 Different groups of cowboys fought over trail

routes
 Mavericks—stray calves with no brand

 Barbed wire-material that allowed hundreds of

square miles to be fenced off cheaply and easily
Settling the Great American
Desert
 Homesteads—land given by the govt for settlement after 5

years title would be given to the Homesteader
 Dry farming—planting deep enough for moisture
 Homesteaders fought against many odds:
 Nature
 Lack of resources
 Hard economic times
Ch 13
Native Americans
 Most were nomads following buffalo

 Later many were restricted to reservations
 Annuities were supposed to be paid by the govt

for land take from the Native Americans
 Lack of these led to uprisings
 Little Bighorn
 Dawes Act
 Tried to Assimilate Native Americans
Ch 13
Reasons for Failure of Native
Americans and reservation life
 Most Native

 They were dependent

Americans had very
little training in
farming or ranching
 The allotments they
were given were too
small to be profitable

on buffalo for their
life
 Many struggled with
their new ways of life
and wished to remain
in their traditional life
