Lincoln's Boat Ride

I don't like riding on boats, but our 16th president A. Lincoln rode on a flatboat to New Orlans when he was 19.  It took them three months to complet their journey.  Our president A. Lincoln saw slaves being sold and/or traded while he was on the journey.  He wasn't president yet but when he became president he put a stop to it because of what he saw on his boat ride to New Orlans.

Fun with Rutherford B. Hayes

I told my mom what to write and she typed it for me.

I had a fabulous time today.  Me and my friend Jacob went to the Rutherford B. Hayes house in Fremont, Ohio.  My favorite part was when we saw the upstairs of the Hayes House (Speigel Grove). When I looked up at the very tippy top of the house there was a garden that Lucy Hayes planted when she had nothing to do.  I learned that their evenings were spent singing songs, talking, reading letters and sometimes books. Jacob had a great time too.  The craziest part of the tour was when we were running to get in the tour.  It was freezing cold and we had left our coats in the Hayes Museum. 

Rutherford B. Hayes was the first president to open a presidential library and museum.  Lucy Hayes was the first wife of a president to be called The First Lady.  Rutherford B. Hayes was President during the time when there lots of firsts.  He was the first president to have a phone and a typewriter in the White House.

President Hayes served in the Civil War as a General for the 23rd Infantry of Ohio.  He liked being called General more than he liked being called President. 

The Hayes House  has 57 starirs which take you from the first floor to the fourth floor.  It is currently being restored to look like it did when Rutherford and Lucy Hayes lived there.  Five generations of the Hayes family lived at Spiegel Grove.  All of the items in the home belonged to the Hayes Family. 

You should make the trip to Fremont, Ohio to see this huge and awesome house of our 19th president.

History Rules the World

I love history a lot. It's my dream to become the first lady president. I love to study in my room.

P.S. Without out my BROTHER!

REPORT ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kuntuky on February 12, 1809. He had a mom a sister and a dad. As he grew he learned how to read and it was his favorite thing to do by the fireplace. His sister Sarah loved to make Abe giggle. As the years passed by Abe began to become a man.

Abe had many jobs and his first one was store clerk. Then his careere changed. He became a husband, father, a lawer. Years past he grew his boys grew and his wife grew and espeshily his mind grew.

Now Abe was running to be presidnt of the United States of America, and he won! Abe had to be Presidnt during the Cilv war and he hated slavery so he put a stop to it. Many people from the South did not like Lincoln for stopping slavery.

Espshly John Wills Booth he did not like Lincoln 1 single bit. Abe and his family went to a play called My American Cousin and John Wills Booth knew it. Erly the day that Abe was going to be there John Wills Booth snuck in with a small hand gun and hid. When Lincoln sat down and he had no idea but he was in for a little surprise right in the middle John Wills Booth jumped out and shot Lincoln in the back of the head and then jumped over the stage and broke his ankle.

Nobody knowed where and how John Wills Booth hid until he was found in a barn fire and killed.
