    This book, written by Kristiana Gregory, is about a thirteen year old girl from Pennsylvania, Hattie Campbell. On her birthday, she was given a diary by her mother and her Aunt June. In the first entry, she mentions her Uncle Milton’s death three days ago while fixing her family’s barn and his funeral the eve of her birthday. At the funeral, the coffin fell out of their cart and was washed into the nearby river. Her father tried to save it but was almost sucked into the paddles of a riverboat. As a sign of apology, the riverboat captain agreed to give Mr Campbell and his family free tickets on his riverboat to go anywhere they wanted. That night, he announced that the family would be heading to the untamed West, at that time occupied by the Indians who were known to be violent. Mrs Campbell was very angry and initiated a “cold war” with her husband. Two days later, she relents and agrees to head out West.…

    Jones’ William Clark… chapter 3 starts with George Rogers Clark (GRC) declining Jefferson’s offer to lead a military excursion westward, suggesting that a few men could sufficiently do the job. Jones then writes of the Clark family’s belated travels across the Appalachians and down the dangerous Monongahela and Ohio rivers before landing outside Louisville and building a farm. He then writes about more problems with Indians, prompting GRC to lead an unsuccessful military campaign after a forced peace treaty was disregarded by non-invested tribes. William Clark is also written about: his joining of and exploits in the Kentucky militia, his journalizing of these exploits and the areas they took him, his self-taught education and naturalistic writings, and his commissioning as a lieutenant in the newly reformed, post-St. Clair’s Defeat US Army. Clark’s early duties as a lieutenant, Jones writes, involved ferrying soldiers and supplies around western outposts and forts, and even to the Chickasaw Indian tribe once. Within a few years, Clark became quartermaster of one of the four Sub-Legions of the US Army, joining the campaign into northern Indian lands that culminated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the final and deciding battle in the Northwest Indian War. Jones then recounts General Anthony Wayne’s successful…

    Lyddie in a sense is like Rosa parks because they both stood up for what is right. I feel like people should never label someone as something. I felt bad on how hard the girls had to work. I feel as if they didn't care for girls because the mills was killing them also making them sick and so on. If you could would you change any parts of the book? How did you feel when you were writing this book? Were you trying to teach people a lesson through your book? Do you think there is going to be more parts because I would like to see Lyddie and her family reunite. The way you wrote this book was mind astonishing,…

    The book I read, The Ferguson Rifle, was written by Louis L’Amour. This book is in a Western form and is full of suspense. I really enjoy reading books by Louis L’Amour, because they are full of action, and there’s never a dull moment. I have read a few of his other books before reading The Ferguson Rifle; however, this book amazed me and was a very good book to read. One reason I love reading books by Louis L’Amour is the way he uses imagery and makes you feel as if you are inside the book. When I read this book, I got a sense of urgency and excitement because the way he used Western dialect and imagery made me feel as if I went back in time and was the Hero that came out on top in this story. Like this story, many of his other stories end in similar fashion, with the Hero being successful. My only complaint is it makes the outcome nearly predictable.…

    When you think of our past presidents, James A. Garfield probably isn’t the first person to pop into your mind. This book is an excellent read for people who don’t know much about Garfield because the author has researched her topic thoroughly and does a great job blending the facts about his life into a very interesting story. Not only does she tell about the political events and the lives of Garfield and Guitaeu; she also tells about the scientific developments of the late 19th century. Millard’s writing style and use of imagery makes the reader feel like they are witnesses to the key events in the book.…

    Mary Ann Glendon begins by discussing the eighteenth century and what the Founding Fathers expected America to be when they were discussing social systems, the environment and emphasis on family during that time period produced different character and personality than our environment and definition of family does today. Glendon asserts, “the market economy, too, can take a toll on society.” This quote in particular reminded me of the probing social commentary discussed in the previous chapters of Lasch, where the market, no longer relying on small-scale production can cause a loss in civic virtue because citizens focus their concerns elsewhere. Therefore, the environment that the Founding Fathers were exposed to, surrounded by small-scale production,…
