Ase': What It Is & Why It's Important

Archeologists found that Egypt dominated Nubia for about 1,200 years, from 2000 to 747 B.C. Many aspects of Egyptian culture, including  mummification, the pyramid tomb and artistic styles, were adopted by the Nubian elite. Then Nubia's fortunes turned, and for almost a century Nubian kings ruled Egypt in what is known as the 25th dynasty.

Every Buffalo Dead Is an Indian Gone'

 Obviously, that was absurd. But if the Army planned to slaughter all buffalo and starve the tribes into submission, it’d take more time and men than Sheridan had. Still, there’s evidence he thought it the best option: In October 1868, Sheridan wrote to Sherman that their best hope to control the Native Americans was to “make them poor by the destruction of their stock, and then settle them on the lands allotted to them.”

In the lull, enlisted men like Cody found other ways to stay busy, and to make money. Cody had joined the Cavalry at 17, and he earned the name “Buffalo Bill” because in one 18-month stretch he claimed to have killed 4,280 buffalo. In 1870, a bull hide sold for $3.50. One frontiersman, Frank Mayer, figured if he spent 25 cents on each round of ammo, then “every time I fired one I got my investment back twelve times over.”
