& 103 - Growing West The pictures 1. A farmer plowing a field. Creating new farms out of forested lands west of the Appalachian Mountains was often back-breaking work. 2. A canal boat being pulled by a horse. Usually the person who was managing the horses (or mules) walked alongside the animals. Canal boats typically carried two teams of two animals, and travelled at about 4 miles per hour. 3. A one horse cart typical of those used in the 1800s. 3. A miner with a pick and water jug. Notice the candle on the miner's hat. Mines of the 1800s were usually dark and dangerous places to work. The lure of gold and silver, however, pulled thousands of people westward. The vocabulary terms A glossary for the vocabulary terms can be found with the link near the top of this section's main index page. See the Getting Started pages at the front of the workbook for suggestions for students about highlighting, and making vocabulary index cards. |
