The vagus nerve connects your throat to your facial muscles and extends from your brain stem to your intestines and stomach. Peak emotional and physical well-being is directly correlated to a healthy vagus nerve, leading to alleviation of the negative effects of PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

The American Civil War, one of the most violent wars ever contested, started in reality in 1850, when the Compromise of 1850 deposed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and made "popular vote", the way by which the decision would be made to designate a state "free" or "slave". Kansas became the test, Northerners and Southerners both pouring into the territory, voting to make that new state what either side preferred.

“Jayhawkers” and “Red Legs” were enlisted into the Union army and praised as heroes of the country while “Partisan Rangers” of the Confederacy were branded “Bushwhackers” and “outlaws.” “Jayhawkers” under General James Lane rode into Osceola and burned it to the ground in 1861. Just one of many Missouri towns to be sacked and burned, but when the “Partisan Rangers” and Confederate Cavalry returned the favor, the whole world heard about it.

The way we feel about another person or about objects is often bound up in associations that have no direct connection with the person or object, at all. Often, what we call a "change of heart" comes about sheerly from a change in the many associations which make up our present viewpoint. Now, suppose that these associations could be altered artificially, at the option of the person who was in charge of the process.

Cotton Cooper had the tree he was sleeping under as an infant struck by lightning. As a result his hair is white (the color of cotton). He is a young man now, but his reflexes are ultra fast. He hears better and sees sharper than the average person. He travels west to visit his brother, Paul, who is a captain in the cavalry at Fort Laramie. While visiting, his brother gets orders to take a company of men and help 600 Pawnee Indians move south to the town of Pawnee in Indian Territory. The Pawnee were hated by the Sioux.

Since Dr. Stephen Porges has developed Polyvagal theory to explain how our autonomic nervous system controls our physical reactions as well as our emotional reactions, a lot of research and study has gone into this hypothesis to see how the working of our nervous system relates to our physical and mental health. The findings were mind-blowing, as the vagus nerve was actually found to hold the key to good physical and mental health to a degree that was never thought possible.

Zoie turned toward her cousin. “Abigail, do you think it would be all right to tell the boys, Lance and Jinx, I mean, why we’re carrying these guns?” Abigail dropped one of her carrots and pointed out at the moon. “Nenuphars!” she exclaimed. “Yes. That’s exactly why...” Zoie didn’t finish. Her eyes followed Abigail’s finger, and she saw ominous silhouettes against the moon. Large creatures of all descriptions were flying in from the south.

Established by trappers in the 1830s, but popularized in the years 1846-1869, the Oregon Trail and its many offshoots were used by over 400,000 settlers, farmers, miners, ranchers, business owners, and their families. The tribes of the great plains made war with each other and against the immigrants moving west. The United States Cavalry was kept very busy trying to control all the waring among the tribes and predation against the settlers.
