The Civil War Muster

So last week friday we went on a field trip to Van Raalte Farm and we learned about the civil war and lots of things that the kids would do for fun. Plus they shot the gun a lot for us and when I say a lot I really do mean a lot; And they told us a story about Derk Van Raalte and how he got shot and still survived while he was riding his black horse. After he got shot he went to the hospital and they cut of his arm for it went through his hand and shoulder. So in the end he still lived; and the only  horse that he rode was a black horse because that was the same color  of the horse he rode when he was shot.
