A detailed set of tasks on the impact of the C19th railroads and ranching upon relations between the US and Plains Indians.

Thorough factual notes and clear instructions facilitate student progress through the lesson, leaving teachers free to circulate and support. This lesson takes students through a long span of time, from the origins of the railroads in the 1820s, to the decline of the 'open range' to the late 1880s.
