Mountain Ridge High: A Short Story

The first Region is the Blue Ridge Mountains this region is located in the North Eastern part of Georgia. This region is home to The Blue Ridge Mountains, which is the southernmost point in The Appalachian Mountain Chain. It is home to Georgia’s highest point, Brasstown bald at 4,784 feet above Sea Level. The First American Gold Rush took place here in 1828.

On this day in 1863, Union troops capture Lookout Mountain southwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee,as they begin to break the Confederate siege of the city. In the “battle above the clouds,” the Yankees scaled the slopes of the mountain on the periphery of the Chattanooga lines.

The Mountain meadows massacre was a series of attacks on the Baker-Fancher emigrant wagon train, at Mountain meadows in southern utah. The attacks began on september 7 and culminated on September 11, 1857, resulting in the mass slaughter of the emigrant party by members of the Utah Territorial Militia from the Iron County district, together with some paiute native americans. The militia, officially called the Nauvoo, was composed of southern Utah's mormon settlers (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Intending to leave no witnesses and thus prevent reprisals, the perpetrators killed all the adults and older children-about 120 men, women, and children in total. Seventeen children, all younger than seven were spared.

Round one of this season's Rutherford County Championship goes to R-S Central (4-3, 1-3), who got past Chase 26-7 last Friday. It was Central's rushing game led by Tyrese Tate that led them to four touchdowns on the ground and well over 250 yards in that category. Meanwhile, the Hilltoppers defense allowed just over 30 yards rushing on the night. Chase (2-6, 0-5) was their own worst enemy with penalties and just not executing when in dire need of doing so.

A child is usually portrayed as innocent and pure. Yamila, who is now 10, has been fighting cancer ever since she was 3 years old, when she was found to suffer from ALL. Yamila, whose family lived in Puerto Rico, underwent treatment at a local hospital. But the cancer came back. This time, her doctors recommended a bone marrow transplant and referred Yamila’s family to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. St. Jude invents more clinical trials than any other children’s hospital, which is why the world looks to St. Jude for new and better ways to treat childhood cancer. At St. Jude, Yamila underwent the bone marrow transplant, with her brother serving as her donor. “My daughter began riding her bike shortly after leaving the transplant unit,” said Yahaira, Yamila's mother. “The physical therapist would come to teach her some exercises, and all she would think about was her bike” said her mother. “St. Jude is a hospital where miracles happen,” Yamila said. Yamila portrayed a sad child’s life because after she recovered from cancer she got it

Mountain Men came to exist throughout the 1800’s but were at their peak between 1830 to 1850 mainly because of the Fur Trade. There was never a large number of mountain man to exist. Who can blame them? Living this sort of lifestyle was never easy; even for those who have acquired the knowledge needed to survive. They faced many obstacles while traveling from place to places such as extreme temperatures, starvation, and attacks from Indians and Grizzly bears. They played a large role in the fur trade and had a very

In September of 1857, roughly 120 members of the “Baker-Fancher” party - a California bound wagon-train from Arkansas – decided to set up camp in Mountain Meadows, Utah Territory. The newly-arrived settlers were denied water access and grazing land by the LDS throughout Utah, and thus welcomed the lush pastures and pristine streams of Mountain Meadows. However, unbeknownst to them, an increasingly malevolent Mormon presence planned on retributive bloodshed.

Mount Zion, Washington, located just north of Rock Island, where the rain was soft, the fog was thick, and, if you were lucky enough to live near one of its many orchards, the air was rich with the perfume of apple blossoms. Known as the Liminal Capitol of the Pacific Northwest, Mount Zion earned itself a reputation for various hauntings, UFO sightings, disappearances, and a plethora unexplained events. It eventually became a novelty town, every shop catering to tourists, however, I do believe that under the lively rural exterior, something dark is lurking in the massive forest surrounding the town. Fortunately, I do not, nor have I ever lived in Mount Zion, Washington.

In the small community of Pine Hill, where everything is always peaceful, things were about to change in major way. As business continued as usual in downtown Pine Hill a certain farmer was having trouble with an unruly goat. This was no ordinary goat though this was Gilbert the goat. Gilbert the goat was the baddest goat in Southwest Alabama and he was tired of Farmer Frank containing him in a pen. So when it was feeding time Gilbert butted Farmer Frank knocking him to the ground and with the speed of a gazelle took off out of the pen. Gilbert ran and he ran and he ran until he was out of sight of Farmer Frank’s farm. Gilbert now a free from captivity decided he was going to celebrate and started towards Pine Hill.

My eyes peeled open slowly and the bright sunlight flooded into my eyes, blinding me. I heard the sound of running water and felt the cold breeze flow over my body. I looked out of my hammock and in front of me was a beautiful waterfall and several towering, bright green trees. My friends whom were with me shortly awoke and we packed our things and set off on our first true day of hiking in the Appalachian mountains.

The parents came out of Grandma’s room by one by one, bags under their eyes, makeup running down their face, and bright red noses. By that time, I could almost predict what happened. As my mom and dad approached us with their heads down, I prepared myself to hear exactly what I never wanted to hear. “The doctors are turning off the life support machine. She isn’t suffering anymore, and she will be looking over every one of you guys. She said she loves you all so much,” Mom told us while my dad didn’t hide his tears back.

Who We Are In Samuel Westerns book, Pushed off the Mountain, Sold Down the River: Wyoming’s Search for Its Soul, he argues that we represent agriculture as the “heart” of Wyoming and as being the “Cowboy State”, which he continues to say is far from the truth. Western also argues that we see wealth in natural resources and rely too heavily on them as a source of economic growth. I disagree with Western’s claims however; agriculture and natural resources are a large part of who we are in Wyoming, and have always been. Western hunts for answers to questions like why Wyoming remains our least populous state, why populations are rapidly growing elsewhere due to young graduates leaving to look for work elsewhere, and why we appear to rely on agriculture and natural resources as our economic income.

It was a crisp cool morning, everything was perfect, except for one person. So as I usually do, I woke up with my 2007 hairstyle sticking straight up.

The home of the tallest mountain, the birthplace of Gautam Buddha and the only country without a square flag is where I come from also know as Nepal. I was born at Koshi Hospital in an urban area in Biratnagar, Nepal on July 08, 1997. During the 1990’s Nepal was in Demographic Transition Stage 2 also known as Agriculture Revolution.The Birth rate is still high and so is the Infant Mortality rate but the Death rate began to fall because, in this time period, folks aren’t moving around anymore instead they take care of the crops and live in the houses with a stable source of food. The average fertility in Stage 2 is over 5 but this model doesn’t fit our family because I don’t have any siblings and am an only child. My parents faced many difficulties and went through many hardships growing in a big family , so my parents wanted to have only one child but maybe they would have had more kids if they continued farming and living in the rural areas of Nepal but because both of my grandparents sent both of my parents to school to get an education which I I believe impacted on their decision on how many kids they wanted. It was specially rare to see girls attending school and getting education during this time because girls were taught how to cook and clean rather than being sent to school because child marriage was very common and girls were prepared at a young age to become a good housewife but my grandparents were very supportive of my mother when she asked to attend school which
