Marysville Vacation

While living in Lancaster, Massachusetts, a large group of Indians attacked, as well as burned the town. Mary and her three children were captured along with twenty one others on February 10, 1676 in the midst of King Philip's war. During this time, her husband was gone to Boston to ask the Massachussetts General Assembly for military protection against the indians. Her daughter Sarah, who was six at the time, was fatally wounded a week later and eventually died. While she was imprisoned, Mary travelled around one hundred and fifty miles. The captives traveled as

As Ray Kiley describes it, “She was seventeen years old, fresh out of Cleveland Heights Senior High. She had long white legs and blue eyes and a complexion like strawberry ice cream. Very friendly, too,” (89). Mary Anne is immature and naive, but also very curious. She is curious of Army machines and also of the Vietnamese culture. Like many other Americans, Mary Anne feels that the war is easily winnable and that she is untouchable, even in a foreign land. At one point she strips down to her underwear and swims in the Song Tra Bong, a Vietnamese river, even after Fossie explains that there are likely snipers

Tennessee is by far my most memorable place. This place is far from my little town “the watta,” and getting there is a long ride. One can take a plane or drive all the way there but whichever you choose when you arrive it’s like going to paradise. The feeling of arriving you get is irreplaceable. Viewing the mountains from far is truly a peaceful place. It is filled with so much nature, it reminds us of how beautiful this world truly is with it.

In March of 2014, my family and I went on a vacation to Naples, Florida. One year before this, a part of my extended family moved to Naples. They moved there because of my uncle, Cory Briscoe. Cory needed 2 to 3 years of additional schooling to get a degree in Nurse Anesthesia. Thinking of going to Florida had been fantastic thus for unbelievable. Our plan was to go the week of spring break to get away from the cold weather in Idaho. Quickly the first day of spring break came, and we were off to the airport.

Mary Musgrove was born in 1700 in Georgia, and was a member of the Cherokee. She was a colonial American translator and negotiator for English and Yamacraw ancestry. She facilitated in the development of Colonial Georgia and became an important negotiator between the Muscogee Creek Indians and the English colonists. These two distinct societies caused Musgrove to bridge the gap between them, ultimately causing her to become a cultural mediator, who not only translated but advised those who acknowledged her capabilities and hardships. After many years of attempting to unite two diverse worlds, she died in her sleep in 1767. Mary Musgrove is known as an individual hero by Native American society because of her attempts to create a life that merged both cultures and for fighting for

Archibald, Mary’s father, died when she was two years old. Mary attended a small catholic school in Alexandria Virginia called The Academy for Young Ladies. The school left a great impact on Mary and she remained a devout catholic and southern sympathizer. At the age of seventeen, she married John Harrison Surratt; they settled on land John had inherited from his family in Neales, Maryland. They had a very unhealthy relationship from early on; they both had different religious views and John became an abusive alcoholic. Mary and John had three children, Elizabeth, Anna, and John Junior Surratt. Both Anna and John played very key roles throughout Mary’s trial and

Mary Rowlandson was held captive by the Wampanoag peoples. In this narrative she gives details on what happened to her while she was a prisoner for weeks. Mary was captured along with her three children, two of which she was separated from and the other one died in Mary’s arms on the ninth day. She then went and saw her ten year old, who, upon seeing her mother, broke down in tears resulting in them not being able to have much further contact. Her captors made her march along for miles until they reach a river that they crossed on canoes. Mary stays there a while sewing and knitting for some of the Native peoples living there. She then is given a knife in which she promptly returns to her master, who lets her go see her son. She gets lost in

At the time of her capture the Wampanoag tribe was seeking revenge against the white men for killing their tribe’s men, in addition to the frustration caused by the continued invasion on Indian land in Lancaster. Mary Rowlandson was a puritan who believed every individual must conform to the laws of the Bible and if they did not then they were outcast and below them in

When the word “vacation” is mentioned, everyone instantly thinks of a great time. There are no classes, no work, no chores, and most importantly, no worries. However, this isn’t always the case, especially with my family. We decided to set out on an adventure to Virginia Beach this past April. The events that took place were benign but, the trip itself was a little bit of a struggle due to the chain of unpredictable events.

Mary was born in Scotland at Linlithgow Palace on December 8, 1542. Her father was the king of Scotland, and her mother was from a very well known French family known as the Guise. During the time that Mary was born her father was engaged in a war away from Scotland with the king of England, who had invaded Scotland at the time. In the fights, Mary’s father was defeated, and he felt that the nobles and generals who led his army, allowed the English to win in order to betray him. The thought of this betrayal was too much for Mary’s father, and as a result his frustration and suffering started to overwhelm him. Under the severity of his suffering he slowly started to decline, and finally, right after the news of Mary’s birth reached him, he passed away. Mary never got the chance to meet her father, and her father never got the chance to meet her, and since her father only produced one child before his death, Mary automatically became queen of Scotland at just six days old. Seeing as she was too

She called and asked the ticket seller if a “neat-appearing colored nurse would be allowed to sit in the parquet with her little white charge,” in which he responded with a no. During this time Jim Crow laws were used extensively to prevent blacks from seeing equality in their cities and Mary wanted to make it known that Washington D.C. was one of those cities. The source fails to address at all the alternatives the colored people were forced to settle with.
