Extractions: Why did the Pony Express close down? Well for one thing they were broke. They had lost $200,000 before they finally closed down. The other thing was that the Transcontinental Telegraph was finished and that put the Pony Express out of business. On November 21, 1861 the last run of the Pony Express was completed. Even though the Pony Express only lasted about 18 months, it came to symbolize swift service, adventure, and heroic endurance. Even today, people reride the Pony Express on horseback every year.

Extractions: In this lesson students learn how Samuel Clemens Students put Clemens' life in the context of Westward expansion by creating a timeline which is then used to make deductions about how the West affected Twain, and how Twain's writing affected the ways in which the nation perceived and mythologized the West. As a whole class, students read three chapters of Roughing It In discussion and through writing assignments they focus on the ways in which Twain developed a distinctive Western voice, analyze how his persona functions in the telling of the tales, and scrutinize the tales for both the stereotypes and truths they reveal about a West which was vanishing even as Twain wrote about it. Then students break up into smaller groups, each assigned the task of reading and reporting on a chapter of Roughing It to the rest of the class. Students write creative pieces inspired by Twain as well as analytical essays about his work. Objectives

Extractions: On-air this month three contemporary American families face 19th-century life in the Montana wilderness, living as 1880s homesteaders - with only the tools and technology of the period at their disposal in the "hands-on" history series, Frontier House. Introduce students to frontier life by exploring why people moved westward in the 19th Century. Upper level grades may discuss more aspects of moving westward. For example, do the costs (hardships) outweigh the benefits (end result)? In other words, is it worth it? As a class, view Frontier House. Compare your class's views on moving west as a homesteader with those expressed in the video. Would your family take on this same challenge? Why/why not? On-Air Resources
