Settling the West<br />
1862 Homestead Act<br />
encouraged White settlements<br />
onto the Great Plains<br />
offered 160 acres of “free land”<br />
to any citizen or intended citizen<br />
Scandinavian immigrants claimed<br />
much of this land<br />
Timber was scarce so most<br />
homes were made from the<br />
earth itself:<br />
Dugouts - homes dugout of the<br />
sides of ravines or hills<br />
Soddies - freestanding homes made<br />
of turf (primarily in the flat<br />
plains regions)<br />
