What problems and events did Margaret Borland overcome as a child in Texas?

Answer and Paragraphs:

Six hundred and forty eight miles of dust, daily

peril and daunting cattle trail faced Margaret Heffernan

Dunbar Hardy Borland when she left her ranch in

Victoria, Texas, and led 2,500 longhorns, drovers, two

young sons, an even younger daughter and a

granddaughter, up the trail to Wichita, Kansas, in 1873.

No woman had ever run a trail drive before, but it was

not the first time Margaret Borland had faced dangerous

challenges head on.

She was only 5 years old when her family came

to Texas by ship, with the first wave of Irish immigrants

in 1829. They settled in San Patricio, in the prairie

of the Coastal Bend, where her father was

killed in an Indian attack when she was

twelve. With no time to grieve as the Texas

Revolution broke out, her widowed

mother grabbed the children and ran in

front of the advancing Mexican armies,

taking refuge in the fort at Goliad.

Somehow they escaped the massacre

there , possibly because their fluent

Spanish helped them pass as Mexicans.

After Texas had won its freedom, the

family returned to San Patricio to renew their

lives. At nineteen, Margaret married Harrison

Dunbar -- the first of her 3 husbands. Within a year, she

was both a mother and a widow, when Harrison was

killed in a pistol duel on the streets of Victoria.

Margaret married Milton Hardy a few years later,

and they built their combined 2,912 acres into a

prosperous cattle ranch. Four children followed, one

dying in infancy, as was tragically common back then.

Cholera then took the life of her second husband and

her lone surviving son. For the next 4 years, she ran the

ranch herself, with some help from her brother.

In 1860, just as the Civil War broke out, she was

already a wealthy and fearless woman when she met

and married one of the richest cattle ranchers in South

Texas, Alexander Borland. Between them they had a

herd of 8,000 longhorns when word of trail drives to

Missouri and Kansas had reached South Texas. The army

needed beef to feed its soldiers, and for many, the pay

was worth the peril. But the Borlands stayed at home,

having more children and living a full Texas ranching

lifestyle.

Margaret's challenge was to find a way to

get more money for her remaining steers

than the $8 per head paid at the San

Antonio market. Hearing that she could

earn $23.80 per head in Kansas, she

decided to push part of her herd north,

for richer markets.

So, at age 49, Margaret packed up

children and supplies and headed up the

Chisholm Trail to Wichita. When she arrived

two months later, her unique feat earned her

headlines in newspapers everywhere, but it was "the

end of the trail" for Margaret's health as well. On July 5,

1873, she died of what a doctor named "brain

congestion" and "trail driving fever". Selling the herd

was left to her young sons, who then brought their

mother home to be buried in Victoria Cemetery.

To this day, Margaret Borland is the ONLY

woman known to have driven a herd up the Chisholm

Trail, serving as her own Trail Boss. Margaret spent her

lifetime facing down calamities, overcoming misfortune

and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and suffering

the deaths of many loved ones. Her courage and will to

not simply survive, but to succeed in an alien and often

hostile territory earns her special distinction as one of

the frontier women who personified the "can-do" spirit

that settled the West!

Strange weapons of world war I


The First World War, was the first war in which the

industrial revolution significantly contributed to the

modernization of warfare. Weapons of war could now be

made on a mass scale because of the development of

factories and assembly lines. Also, new technologies

could be adapted and applied to make advanced

weaponry that could cause massive casualties. For

instance, the plane would become the perfect technology

used to drop bombs. The industrialization and

modernization of weapons made it easier for the Allies

and Central Powers to kill. Hence, WWI become known

as one of the bloodiest wars of all time. The total number

of military and civilian casualties in World War I was more

than 38 million; there were over 17 million deaths and 20

million wounded.

Interestingly, early in the war, the Allies and Central

Powers would both be forced to dig trenches in order

to avoid being killed by new weapons of war and be

over taken. Hundreds of miles of trenches stretched

across the frontlines. Trench warfare would become a

way of life for both sides as well as a key defensive

strategy. The use of trenches would also cause a

stalemate in the war where both sides struggled to

make progress in the war. The use of trenches in the

war would lead to designers and military engineers to


develop many strange weapons and contraptions in an effort to gain an advantage in the war.
