Le Journal de Marguerite Numero 4

Dear Journal,
We have just gotten on the road. Papa bought a wagon for us to travel.He bought two horses named Xavier and Blue. We left last week and we have been on the road for what seems like a long time. My sister Louise and I have to spend many hours grinding corn for meals. It is very hard to sleep because the wagon rattles at night.Home seems like a million miles away.

Le Journal de Marguerite Numero 3

Hello Journal
Mama has been teaching me english and I can speak very fluently now. My native language is still Francais, but I can speak English now too.
My friend mary is very sad because the loyalists hurt her father by putting him on her mule backwards! They kicked them out of town and now they have to mover away. I am very saddened by this action.
I asked Papa what loyalists were and if we were them. He said that we have to get on the road because it is too dangerous for us her because they can do to him what they did to Mary's Papa. I am very scared what we have to do. I have never left home before.
