This is Chris here, I am reading a book about the Frontier Living. The clothes they wore were shoepack and maccasin shoes. For the Frontiersmen the hunting was a sport to them. They hunted for beavers, panthers, bears, wolves, wildcats, deer, elk, buffalo. The sports they played were shooting matches. For farming they used a jump-and-coulter plow, stump-land harrow, and shovel plow. For cutting wood they used a wedge, a glut, and maul. On Saturday they had dogfights, cockfights and they were arranged. On sundays the families went to church. They had school on Sunday and for math they learned multiplication tables. For a compass they used a surveyor's compass. Footwear was invented in the first quarter 19th century. Eli Whitney made the first cotton gin. For the Hunting weapons they used throwing knives and guns.I was connected by this book because I wanted to know how they did things back then.

The thoughts are that when I read the book I just wanted to learn how to do the things they did back then. Also I want to live like they did for a while and see how it felt to live like they did.
