Today is Thursday.
I am going to read another book in my list, Sam the Minuteman.
About two hundred years ago, a boy named Sam Brown lived with his parents on a farm in Lexington, Massachusetts, near Boston. At time America was not a country of its own. It belonged to England. Sam and his father had to do many outdoor work together, because the farm was small and the earth was rocky. Sam's mother did indoor work and everything they needed they had to make, or grow, or cook for themselves. Once in Boston Sam and his father saw the soldiers the British King sent to keep order. The people were unhappy with the way things were being run. Sometimes they had riots. Some people hid guns and powders in case of the trouble with the soldiers. People didn't like the soldiers and called them the Lobster Backs, because their uniforms' color was red. On their way home, Sam asked his father what the soldiers wanted. His father told him that they wanted to keep them from being too strong, because the soldiers were afraid of them. But Sam was afraid of the soldiers too.
