Sorry everybody! It's been a few weeks and we've been away on trips. One of my trips was alone without Mom or Dad. I went to Lee, MA for horse riding camp. I stayed with my Grandma and Grandpa. They knew I am writing blog posts about the Revolutionary War, so they decided to take me to some places that had to do with Henry Knox and the Revolutionary War.
First, I learned about Henry Knox. (I remember hearing his name from "Hamilton" when George Washington says, "And Henry Knox wanted to hire you." Hamilton said, "To be his secretary, I don't think so!") Henry Knox traveled on a trail to get cannons from the British for the Americans. That trail is called the Knox Trail. We saw a house that Henry Knox stayed at on the trail. It was this yellow color, and it had the British flag on it and the American flag. We didn't get to go inside. I think somebody actually lives there.
After we saw the house, we saw a monument of the Last Battle of Shays' Rebellion. This happened after the Revolutionary War. The big result was the Constitutional Convention to help people by making the government better.
I don't have any pictures because I forgot about my camera. That's an "oopsy!" But I enjoyed it anyway. See you guys next time!
