Jacob: Hamlin Pharmacy

I enjoyed Jacobs post. I really like the newspaper cut outs and the amount of information that he had was sufficient. I remember going to the Pharmacy when I was little and the amount of pictures that my family has there are plenty. I didn't like though that there were mainly pictures and the link didn't work. Also the one newspaper cutout is side ways. Other than those faults, I enjoyed this post on the Hamlin Pharmacy.

Jesiah: corpus christi involvement in civil war

In Jesiah's post the main thing that I saw was the amount of pictures that could have been reduced to make a better presentation. There was information though that had a lot to do with the main topic. Although there were a lot of pictures I found the information to be leading into the right direction. There were also some points that could have been stronger. Like how he mentioned the lighthouse and what happened to it. He could have had a picture to go with it.

Legendary King Ranch

My name is Benjamin and my history topic is King Ranch. The largest ranch in the United States, with an abundance of wildlife, farming and tourism, King Ranch has become a large part of Texas' economy. Founded in 1852, steamboat captain Richard King purchased the land and it has flourished to a land that covers 825,000 acres. King Ranch is not only a prime place to find a trophy White-tailed Deer or Nilgai, it has everything in between.King Ranch also has a huge part in farming, creating and deploying new farming techniques to produce more efficiently.  King Ranch has played a huge role in agriculture and has been the only true creator of a breed of cattle, the Santa Gertrudis and Santa Cruz.

The King Ranch farming legacy began when Captain Richard King traveled to Crullias, a small town suffering from a severe drought. Mr. King had purchased all the cattle from the townspeople in order to help them to survive the drought. As Mr. King was leaving, he noticed that he took the towns only source of meat, so he turned his horse around and made a deal with the people, if they were to come work on his ranch he would provide them with shelter.
