THE HEROES OF THE
REvO TION
(By Cara Parsons)

Nuy SdII0 sOiSI
The heroes Of the Revolution were
George Washington and Isreal Put.
nam. Washington deserves more
praise, because he did more fighting.
Ever since Washington was boy,
he was always truthful. He was grit
ty from the time he rode his mothers
unbroken colt. until he caught the
old fox, CORVALLIS, at Yorktown.
Anyone who goes inside Mammouth
Cave, will see George Washington's
the walls than any Of his schoolmates.
At the age Of sixteen, he helped sur
vey q large tract Of land In the Shen-
andoah valley. For dishes he ate off
Of chips 30 he could have new set
at every meal. He would kill game
and cook It over the fre. Any deer
who saw Washington's arrow pointed
at him, might know he would be eaten
that night for supper. For q bed he
used the ground with . single blanket
wrapped around him. The Indians
wished to show their love for him, so
they baked him dog, which was the
greatest honor they thought they could
show him.
Washington deserves honor for TAX
ing the message to the French general.
He had rivers to cross, hills to climb
and there was danger Of being attack
ed by the Indians. On his return on
crossing . river, he was knocked of the
raft by q large cake Of ice, but being
able to swim like fish, he reached
the shore in safety. Having greater
endurance than the Indian lad with
him, his feet and hands were not froz-
en-.
In Braddock's defeat, It was Wash
ington's coolness that kept the retreat
ing army together. With them he
stopped the bloodthirsty savages from
scalping the dead.
About year after Washington was
made commander in chief Of the Con-
tinental army, and with the raw ma
terial he found there he did wonders.
Although we were defeated in the
battle Of Bunker Hill, it wasn't be-
cause we were beaten but because we
had run out of ammunition. At any
rate it made Warrington more desper.
ate than ever, and he was bound and
determined that Squire Bull" wouldn't
rule over us.
Again Washington fought violently
to hold the capitol at Philadelphia, but
being outnumbered he had to retreat
to Valley Forge. During that winter
no one could have suffered more thar
he did. Only the good, true-hearted
Americans could stand Il.
/ A. Thomas Jefferson said: IF you
make yourself . sheep, the wolves
win eat you-" Now Warrington put
this into practice. After the battle Of
Long Island, he had TO cross the
/ DelawAxe, he still hadn't lost courage
He vowed - drive the Britiih out Il
