Today we spent some time in the West as we interrogated a set of historical sources in an effort to develop a hypothesis about a murder in Montana.  The process also helped us gain a more complete understanding of what life in the West was like for diverse groups of people.  We ended the day with some discussion over the problems faced by farmers in the West and the resulting successes of the Populist Party.

Tomorrow Chapter 19 is due and we will shift our focus eastward to the growing industries and urban areas.
