My perspective on history changed forever when I went on an adventure to an old civil war battleground. We were there to plant a privacy wall of trees between the battlefield and the road, when we finished we decided that we should camp overnight. Later on in the night we were playing a version of poker, Texas Hold’em, when one of the younger people in our group, a person named Kyle, started rocking the table, this caused the propane lantern that was resting in the middle of the table to fall over and roll off of the table. It rolled off right next to me so I went to catch it before it met the ground, unfortunately Kyle had the same Idea and reached for it as well. Instead of going for the cool propane tank on the bottom half he went for the scalding hot top and ended up burning up his hand pretty bad. While he looked fine at first, he soon went into shock. Fortunately, we had some experienced users of first aid on hand and they managed to get him to calm down, …show more content…
We eventually discovered that if you went into the area which surely must have kept horses when the barn was at its prime that you could climb over the gate and get into the ground level of the barn. To get to the second level we had to climb up the stairs next to where we entered and encountered a door which was, fortunately, unlocked. When we entered the second level it was pitch back requiring us to use our flashlights to see even a little bit in front of us. Right next to the door of which we entered from was an old classic radio straight out of the 70’s. We opened the drawer of the dresser, or really more of a night stand, of which the radio stood on, and encountered tons of old fuses that we imagined might be for a car. The last thing that we encountered was an old school sewing machine straight out of the 40’s which was on the next floor, which was easily accessible via
Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way. I only met Jake two years ago in track, when a pulled hamstring injury caused Mr. Kellerman to have me practice with the long distance kids. Mr. Kellerman forced me into staying on the long distance team and that is where I started to hit it off with Jake. It took me a long time to be comfortable with Jake, but when I did we quickly found our common interests.

Unfortunately, the house that looked enormous was only one large room deep. Upstairs, there was a long
It contained stairways to nowhere, open gas pipes in the rooms he rented and from his room he could control the gas flow, trap doors and shuts leading to the basement, a crematorium for body disposal, doors opening to nowhere, and a built-in bank safe where he would lock people in and suffocate
In the livingroom the bones of small animal dismembered and placed in a pile. Possibly a cat. A glass tumbler by the
I have learned so much from my high school american history course so far and I’m genuinely shocked by how interesting the information we are learning is. When I generally think about history it bores me but when I started learning about history this year everything changed. I think it’s very important to know history because without those historic events we quite possibly wouldn’t be where we are today. So that’s what I will be trying to do.
I am the soldier Jacob Raymond, who fought in the French and Indian War along with the American Revolution. Life in the colonies after the French and Indian War was wonderful until Britain passed the Proclamation of 1776. Parliament passed this law in order to stop us from moving west towards Quebec. This made it more difficult to farm and was starting to upset many of the colonists including myself. Next, the Sugar Act was passed in 1764.
I must admit it has been awhile since I last wrote. I am sure you have heard about the bloody battle at Gettysburg. I wrote as soon as I could in order to alert you of my safety. Weeks ago Lee marched North in an effort to land a backbreaking victory. The battle started on July 1 and ended on the third.
I live in a minuscule town in Western North Carolina, where southern traditions are very important to the majority of the population. Such as drinking sweet tea, eating biscuits and gravy, and going to church. Here within one of those important traditions lies why I had to take such a significant risk. At the beginning of my eighth grade year of middle school, only a mere thirteen years of age, I knew I was different. However, what made me different would surely turn many against me.
Paragraph III: Upon Frederick’s escape to the north, he was able to find help and make it to New Bedford to settle with his wife. He was able to find employment on “the third day after my arrival, in stowing a sloop with a load of oil. It was new, dirty, and hard work for me; but I went at it with a glad heart and a willing hand. I was now my own master. It was a happy moment, the rapture of which can be understood only by those who have been slaves.
You know acceptance right? We’ve all been accepted at one point in our lives, despite our differences, and I’m pretty sure WE’VE had problems accepting someone who’s also different. I have too, especially when it comes to a disagreement. Here’s my side of the story. It started with a conversation between me and my cousin.
The bloody hands of freedom Fear, hunger, illness were all horrid feelings I felt, but there is a small glimpse of hope and passion that might get me through the hard times. We stood our ground and when I thought we had given up, the French came on April 13,1778. I was not going to become a summer soldier but yet after a 2 year of enlistment some of my brothers deserted us. I have decided to re-enlist for three reason which knowing that the war is going to be hard but I am going to fight, my pride for my country, and love and passion.
This appears to be the original Sears garage. In 1925, Sears Roebuck gave a mortgage to Isabelle Carpenter Kendall for the Sears Puritan. She worked for the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound railway as as the editor of their in-house publications. She had a degree
Civil War The year was 1861 and the first battle had already begun. The country was now divided as two teams, the confederates and the unions. I wasn’t looking forward to the upcoming battle that was about to happen. I sat in my tent in silence, thinking about what might happen.
There's no radio running or Television. Our access to the world is limited to the 7 inch thick steel door, only open able from the outside. When Christy walked in, I thought it was our great escape. She was so sick already. There wasn’t anything we could do.
