I have had an interest in western history since I was a child. My great-uncles worked on the shows Wagon Train and Laramie among others providing horses, wagons and stuntmen. My goal in college was to teach history. I was also a docent at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum in the mid- 1990's. I went to college to teach middle and high school English and History. I have taught full-time, substitute taught all grades, and volunteered at the Autry museum in L.A.

All sources are listed below, and parents are encouraged to read the articles that are specifically related to the experience of Asians, Indigenous People, and African Americans. Again, these topics will be discussed only at an age-appropriate level, as this class emphasizes the discovery of gold and the bust of the gold rush towns.
