Article Attempt #2



Dear You,
           Hey! It's been a while! Oh, did I mention earlier that I was recently in Nova Scotia (visiting of course)? I met this famous guy there. His story is incredible! Behold, my second attempt at a good article!

Hero, Lieutenant Moody, comes to Nova Scotia


Loyalist, James Moody has arrived in Sissiboo, Nova Scotia after war with the Thirteen Colonies. Moody is a brave man who will finally rest in Nova Scotia, his new home. He will join thousands of other British citizen who have sided with Britain to be ridiculed and be kicked out of their homes.


Moody is a man of many adventures. He grew up in New Jersey. He was a farmer who refused to take part in the revolution and pledge loyalty. Later, rebels attacked him at his farm.He then joined the New Jersey Volunteers. They are the largest Loyalist regiment in the war. He freed many British supporters from American prisons. He had even freed himself from jail. 


1780, Moody was arrested. Two months later, he broke free of his shackles, stole his guard's musket and ran. When he escaped, the alarm was raised. He then shouldered is musket and joined the police in looking for him. He lived on berries and nuts until he can rejoin his regiment.


Moody will receive half pay as a captain. This higher pay is reward fro his extraordinary bravery. We would like to welcome this exceptional man into our community.


See! I can still write a good article! Well see you next time!

Love
Catherine
