I wish I could join the militia.
maybe I could join the militia. Yes, that's it! i'll disguise myself as a man and leave at first light.
Hey I think this might work. I shall name myself Charlie Williams.
Are you ready to join the militia.
Yes sir.
Shoot, Fort Detroit, shoot it!
POW!
BLAM!
I can't believe i'm actually doing this!
diary of Carrie Williams 1812 august 16 I can't believe I fought. We beat them though, thank heavens. I haven't been caught yet, so far it's been pretty good. Pretending to be a man is easier than I thought, all you have to do is look like a man, sound like a man, and smell like a man and they'll believe you.
We won we won!
The next morning
I have to head back home. I love it here but I might lose my job and i'm a woman my duties are in the house at home.
The Lady will probably be very upset wondering where I am. I bet she misses bossing me around.
I'm sorry i'll get right back to work.
Where do you think you went?! The laundry is dirty and so are the dishes, so extra work for you!
