I'm Moving To America
I hate the potato famine! Thousands of us are dying and it has nothing to do with war! I America I hear that you get 160 acres for free. Because of this potato famine starvation I'm going to America. Last night I saw a new mud hut in our area. I went to greet our neighbors, but when I opened the little door, I saw the skeleton of three people, a wife, a husband, and their child. As I went closer, I saw that they were alive! I bet this stuff doesn't happen in the great land of America. -
What a magical day!
This is it! This is America! The land of the free! Here I see the statue of liberty. And oh, what a magical day, not only because I finally came here, but on what a date! Right before Christmas! This is great because I have time to get settled in and ready. I'll stay in a hotel for a few months and then I'll go on wagon to the west to get me some of that good old farming land! -
This is the hotel I am staying in!
This is the hotel I'm going to be staying in for the next few months until I work my bloody hands off for the money to pay for all the equipment and stuff to move to the west. And not only this is a four star hotel, I need to pay only three dollars a week to stay in it! And the timing is perfect because it is Christmas Eve and I still have time to buy a tree and celebrate! -
First store I was at!
This is the first store I was at! Everyone was so friendly when I was buying the things I need! Ah, I love America! Great, friendly stores, nice sidewalks, and the whole country is awesome and beautiful! -
This is the wagon I am going to buy.
You know, I think I've got the money to buy a wagon, so now I think I'm ready to move to the west! In the west I've heard the land is as flat as a desk, the water clear as a crystal, and the rocks as minimal as needles in a hay stack. Soon I bet I will be planting my potatoes and building my house in the land of the free! -
Homestead Ad
So every week I go to the same store to buy me food and all the things I need, and today I saw this poster hanging outside of the store. This just confrims of what I was rattling about these past few months! So the free 160 acre land law is called the homestead act? I wish there was this in Ireland! -
I'm buying some oxen!
As you all know, I am going to be moving to the west. So probably in the next few weeks I am going to move to Nebraska, and to do that, I need something that'll pull me along with the wagon. I finally got the money, so I'm going to buy these three oxen! -
I'm moving to Nebraska.
I finally got the supplies, so I am moving to Nebraska! I got all the supplies two days ago, but a thought struck me, that why not as a one year anniversary, start today! My dream is so close! -
The land of the free.
I'm finally at the booths were you can apply for the race, so I got a flag, and a horse for the race! When the horm blows, Me and my horse are going to race for some rich land! I have to put in my flag and switch it out for the other flag that's been planted into the ground by officials! I have a good feeling about this! -
My land!
I have found my land, and oh boy, it is as flat as a desk. I have already made myself a house and am going to make myself a farm. It has been a wild and great journey! God bless America!
