Download or read book Arc of the Medicine Line written by Tony Rees and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the borderland between Canada and the United States is a wide, empty sweep of wheat fields and pasture, measured by a grid of gravel roads that sees little traffic and few people who do not make their lives there. It has been much this way for more than a century now, but there was a moment when the great silence shrouding this place was broken, and that moment changed it forever. Arc of the Medicine Line is a compelling narrative of that moment?the completion of the official border between the United States and Canada in 1874. ø In late July of 1874, the Sweetgrass Hills sheltered the greatest accumulation of scientists, teamsters, scouts, cooks, and soldiers to be seen in this part of the world before the coming of the railways. The men of the boundary commissions?American, British, and Canadian?established an astronomical station and the last of their supply depots as they prepared to draw the Medicine Line across the final hundred of the nearly nine hundred miles between Manitoba?s Lake of the Woods and the Continental Divide. In the brief weeks the surveyors and soldiers spent in Milk River country, they witnessed, and played a singular part in, the beginning of the end for the open West. That hot, dry summer of 1874 marked the outside world?s final assault on this last frontier.

LuLu gets busy grooming Miss Pickles for their first horse show together. She is intent on beating Melony Parker. Nobody much likes Melony, due to her boasting. Melony always wins, too, as she's the best rider and has the best pony. But LuLu knows that with Miss Pickles, she finally has a great chance to win. LuLu's dog, Flo, is not allowed to go to the shows, as Flo always hunts down Melony's poodle, MiMi, causing a fight. When no one is looking, Flo hides in the back of the car under a rug. After arriving at the show, Flo immediately runs off to find MiMi. When the dogs meet up, they run under the horses' legs. In the confusion, the horses become loose and get mixed up. It turns out that Melony also received a brand new pony that she named Primrose. Her pony is identical to Miss Pickles! Both ponies are white and wear the same pink headstall and lead. After being caught, and thinking they have the right ponies, the girls mount up for the event, but the ponies will not budge. Read how the dogs get together to solve the wrong pony situation. In the end, everyone learns that it's far easier to work together than against each other. And guess who wins the event?
