I vaguely remember learning about The First Thanksgiving in school. One thing that has always stuck out to me in to voyage of the Mayflower that the pilgrims took. Also for some reason the Wampanoags always stood out to me cause I remember thinking what a funny word it was. Some key things that I do remember about this story are that the Wampanoags thought that there was a war breaking out because of a message or something happened that made them think that. They approached the Pilgrims and they soon found out that they were actually just hunting for their food they were not looking for the Wampanaogs or trying to shoot at them. I believe that is where the dinner started. Now that I am recalling this historic event I am actually very interested in learning it again because I do remember being interested in it when i was young. Although it was so long ago I can hardly remember what actually happened.

It’s very possible that the history of this object could have rooted from China and India. Chinese were using toothpaste before the toothbrush was even around. Ox hoofs, egg shells, and ash were said to be some of the key ingredients in the first toothpastes. The author of this article helps readers understand three important things about this product. How, when, and why.

The Brooklyn Bridge is far older than the Golden Gate Bridge. Both of these structures capture so much beauty and history in our world that many people do not realize. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883 this bridge was known for being the first steel wire bridge. This bridge is absolutely stunning especially what it is lit up at night sitting above water with the lights of New York City behind it. This bridge has been seen in many movies because of the beauty that it captures. The structure of this building contains many different elements, from limestone to granite. It’s literally breathing taking. The Golden Gate Bridge is also a very well know and eye catching structure. This bridge is located in San Francisco California this bridge was constructed far after the Brooklyn Bridge, in 1933 construction began and was completed in 1937. This bridge offers a more simplistic view and far more rural atmosphere. It does not have the lights or busy traffic the Brooklyn Bridge does, although it is known to be far more peaceful and out of the way of the busy city life compared to the Brooklyn bridge. It does not offer the beautiful stone work the Brooklyn Bridge does but what it does offer is a beautiful scenery or mountainous terrain surrounding it. I believe that both of these areas value these structures more than most people realize. They have made sure to keep these bridges safe and fully functioning not only because they are a high source of transport but they are a huge mark in these areas and it’s important to people to still have these types of treasure around and catching people’s eye. Many people go out of their way to travel just to see these bridges in their lifetime and if one were to visit either bridge they would see why, they are part of our history and a treasurable sight to see. These are not your typical bridges you see every day unless of course you live in these areas.
