Gun Shots and Sun
At the beginning of our Van Raalte farm field trip we got to meet Abraham Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln talked to us about the civil war. He also told us about how the war ended and why it began. Also Mrs. Lincoln talked to us about when she wanted to go to the movies but they left without her. We also heard some music that they played in the civil war and we got to see some of the instruments that were from the civil war. After people talked about the civil war we went of to see the guns.
When we got to the battle field there were about twelve guys who had guns and they were in a few different lines. The one who was in charged was in front and instead of a big gun he had a big sword. It was very sharp and the captain said that if the sword went through you, you would die right away because it is SO sharp. When they shot the guns I was SO scared. Now I am so happy that I was never in the war.
Next they talked to us about a little dutch boy, who got really hurt. And after that he went everywhere with his black horse. A little after that we went to see the ladies and they had cool dresses. They talked to us about what they used to cook and what they used just for fun.
