The first thing that stuck out to me in the NPR reading was that there is land that was not signed away in a treaty. I think that that is great. I wish we had that here instead of Indian reservations ...

Thanks Gigi!
So i kinda liked this reading and it was a good last one to have. However it kind of just went from event to event although perhaps there is no way around this.

People seem very interested in Cooper's question and I would like to know what exactly he meant when he asked it and how he thought that it might have helped. I think the reason everyone thinks that i ...

I think this reading had a lot of useful information about the the Americas before Columbus. Mann did a good job of describing the land and aspects of the culture. However i did feel as i was reading ...
