User talk:Hayessm

Hello,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm your campus ambassador Gabe and I enjoyed talking with you yesterday about Wikipedia. I've put a few notes and helpful links, particularly about how to find images here: Education Program talk:Boston College/History of the American West (2013 Q1). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about editing Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy this assignment and I look forward to seeing your contributions.

Here are some comments on your outline:

1. Don't spend too much time on L&C expedition--just enough background as necessary for what follows. Just link to the main L&C article on it (and make sure that article's coverage of Ft. Clatsop matches with yours).

2. Since this is an article about Ft. Clatsop, you'll want to tell us something about that area prior to becoming Ft. Clatsop. Where is it exactly? Describe its topography, its native inhabitants & other important characteristics.

3. Make sure you discuss the famous vote about where to locate the fort.

4. Need more detail in the later uses section. Didn't this area become an important nexus of the fur trade? When did the Fort disappear? What factors led to it being rebuilt in 1955 and 2006 and who was behind these efforts? How did preservations determine where the fort was and how to reconstruct it?
