I wear long dresses, mobcaps, and
aprons. Most of my dresses are just plain old white, but some of them
are different colors. One of my favorite ones I dyed blue with indigo.
I would never go out without my mobcap, especially in the winter. We wear
corsets to make us look very skinny with our huge hoop skirts. My shoes
don't have a right and left, so it doesn't matter what foot I put them on!
Everyone is talking about war and
it's worrying me. What if my family or I get hurt? I really don't
think it is fair that the men get to serve for our country and women don't.
I wish that I could do something to help if we really do have war.
A couple of weeks ago I went to
the store to buy five pounds of flour and I had to pay the store about six pennyweights.
When I got home I made cornbread and soup for dinner. The reason I made
corn bread is because corn is very popular here and wheat isn't.
April 26, 1777 I got a knock
at my door by a messenger. He needed someone to spread the
alarm that the redcoats were coming. I said I would go and then off
I went on my horse. I spread the message by shouting,"Muster at Ludingtons!"
I am known as a female Paul Revere.
When I was only sixteen, I went on a midnight ride in the village of Danbury,
New York. I warned the people that the redcoats were coming,
just like Paul Revere did.
