Finding James in the Battlefield     

     So much has happened today, so I will start from the beginning. The day started off normally, as Mrs. Law and her son John came to the farm to get away from the battle. Her older son and husband had been killed in the war. But shortly after their arrival, we realized John had disappeared. We looked everywhere in the farm, but only found that Mr. Clement’s musket and cartridge pouch had disappeared as well! 

     So, I went with Mrs. Law to the battlefield in Queenston, which we all guessed John would be trying to get revenge for his brother’s and father’s deaths. Once we got to the battlefield, we found John, and dragged him to my house, although Mrs. Law had gotten shot on the ankle. Then, several men defending the Heights came in the report news of the war, and after I asked them if they had seem James, they told me he was wounded on the battlefield! 

     Without hesitating, I rushed out to the battlefield in search of James, and towards the enemy line. I was so scared then, until I saw James lying still on the ground between two American soldiers who wanted to kill him! I ran in front of James to stop them from firing, and before they could do anything more, an American officer named Captain Wool stopped them, and allowed me to take James home, which I did right away. 

     After arriving home, a doctor named Dr. Greenfield came to see James. It turns out that he could not get the ball on his knee and that his leg may need to be amputated if it got infected. Oh, poor James! But I could not grieve for his injuries then, because I had to tend to him. A moment later, I heard men shouting the good news, that we have taken the Heights, and had won! When James heard of that, he seemed to relax more. Speaking of James, I think that I better go give him some clean clothes and water now!
