Great+Plains

The Great Plains:

The Great Plains is the large landmass or region of prairie which lie east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States and Canada. This area includes parts of Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. The region is about 500 miles east to west and 2,000 miles north to south. Much of the region was home to gigantic buffalo (American bison) herds until they were hunted to near extinction during the mid 1800s. Many people migrated here also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_plains http://van-grantham.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html America Pathways to the Present pg. 261
