More wonderful Civil War stories! Did you enjoy Henry's Freedom Box last week? Did you do the bathtub experiment to see what Henry's experience was like? Email me to tell me your thoughts.
If we were in the library this week, I would read to you The Last Brother by Trinka Hakes Noble. Each year when I finish the book, there's a long pause, like kids are deep in thought at the ending. Click HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_t6XsrGUQk to have the story read to you. Gabe and Orlee are young buglers, one for the North and one for the South. If you want to hear what the bugle calls that they played sounded like (charge, retreat, etc.), click HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QGf3W2BZw. Be sure to listen to the end to hear the mournful tune called TAPS.
O, how I miss reading these wonderful stories to you! Please email me your thoughts about these stories. Let's stay in touch!
