Why Sac?

It should come as no surprise that the Golden State is shot-through with big cities. From San Francisco to Los Angeles to Newport Beach and back up the coast again, there are no shortages of big cities to choose from. To be sure, smaller college towns like Berkeley, Davis, and Irvine also get folded into the Golden State batter. With all of these options, what makes Sacramento the capitol?

Christened by the stalwart Gabriel Moraga, Sacramento was little more than a trading post when John Sutter arrived in 1839 from Switzerland. Within ten years he and his heirs would guide the transformation of the trading post into a military barracks for the U.S. Army and eventually into an incorporated city. Sacramento is the oldest incorporated city in the state, having been invested in 1850. This does not mean it is the oldest, however, as that distinction belongs to Monterey.

Following the conclusion of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the capital of California was moved from Monterey. The first city to be designated the new capitol was San Jose. When the state legislature met there in 1850, it was argued the capitol should be moved further inland to avoid retribution either from Mexico or the Spanish Empire.  Read more...

The summer months always seem to fly by and before you know it, football season is here and you trade in your flip flops for boots and that is that. No more beach, no more pool, just shoveling the sidewalk and dreaming of the days when the sun will shine again. Well why not bring the summer back a little early with a Caribbean Cruise Vacation?

Disneyland is a well known destination theme park that is often said to be the happiest place on earth. Anybody who has ever heard of Mickey Mouse knows how popular the Disney franchise has become. But just because it is the happiest place on earth does not mean that it is not expensive to get in.

With entrance to Disneyland at such a high price, as has historically been the case, it is no surprise that there are lots and lots of people searching for Disneyland discount tickets. They’re not the only business to offer discounts, but theirs are in very high demand.

Disneyland is one of the most popular attractions found in southern California and the demand of the Disneyland discounted tickets is very high. This is the reason why Disneyland does not feel the need to offer discounts. But being a company as they are, they do give Disneyland discount tickets, and it is up for the people to find it.

If you didn’t know this already, you should know that anyone who goes to Disneyland on their birthday will be able to get in for free that day. This is a policy that Disneyland has to attract visitors to the park who maybe didn’t have the money to go before.  Read more...

Montana: A Brief State History

Posted on Aug 25th, 2009
by Brian Corwin

Before the state of Montana was named, and before it even became a state, the Native American people lived there on their own. Whether they knew that there were other people out there and whether they thought that those people might come to take their land is only speculation. They were just interested in raising their families, and they hunted, fished, and grew crops there, just like in other states. Even though there were quite a few different groups of Native Americans, there was plenty of land so they could put space between them if they didn’t get along.

Most of the tribes were able to co-exist because they had enough space, but that didn’t mean that they always got along. There were different tribes even different areas, like the Crow, the Blackfeet, and the Cheyenne. Some of the tribes were small and kept to themselves, while other tribes were very large and exerted a lot of influence. The smaller tribes mostly just tried to remain apart from the larger ones so as not to antagonize them.  Read more...
