Gimme the details on conflict and strife: How many immigrants were killed, how many indians were displaced, and how many battles were there?

Well...lets see...

I think 7 people died and all 53 indians were intergrated with the French...so they look a little different now....uhm...and there was a battle or two, after lewis and clark went through and diseased them all. Well ok...I don't remember much about the class...I took it some 6 years ago.

I spent 5 years in Grand Forks, 4 at college and one more as a Flight Istructor. Winters sucked, the wind blew way too much, school was kinda lame...drinking was everyones hobby. The fishing and waterfowl hunting was great. The hockey team was awesome...I don't plan on going back.

-The end.

HIstory of American Theatre, pre-Columbian through 1900.

My required theatre history class first semester of grad school.

There was not a single decently written play in that entire time.
