So i am reading this book on the twentieth century not world war two but world war two is coming up because they cant just bypass that so hitler has come to power he is killing or sending Jews of to factories or concentration camps and they just recently got this whole area of Germany free from jew they think thats an accomplishment or something. About fifty thousand Jews have gone to live somewhere else besides Germany and their are 450,000 people with intentions of doing that very thing there have been assassinations all over the place like this person named dollof he was this leader of this place and Germans are like making the whole place revolt they shot dollof in the neck and wouldn't give him medical aid until he died.

 I am reading this book about like the founding of our country and it is very clear and kind of hard to put into a blog because I barely knew what I was reading and their are tons of dates so lets say we are going to start when the English had a missive wool trade and their where many different laws until this new type wool came along and this wool could make a lighter cloth than English wool therefore bypassing almost all the rules while this is happening Antwerp in the nethertherlands has become one of the richest port cities in the world. Because of it placement and both Spanish and English merchants came to sell and buy goods their it became huge other cities that had become big was the Spanish city solver or something like that and Bristol which England made into the shipyard for there new and improved fleet.

Kit carson is someone that is not brought readily to  ind because there's not much known about time was a trapper that fought in the mexican war and was a trapper in the mountains of mexico i think in one battle these people where using spears as like lances and they where being extremely deadly so kit carson took a carbine and some bullets calmly sat behind a rock shooting them down as they came in range. That battle was lot because the weapons they used where wet and bullets where soaked including they used extremely poor health horses they where destroyed and our army had to retreat.

Isobel khune went back to the lisu people after her furlough and she got permission to start a Bible school. Kind of like a starter for preachers these people from the school would go into the lisu mountain ranges to preach the gospel that so many wanted. The Bible school was three months long and there where many hymn singing and things like that. There where many who where bad at one thing but good at another. One could preach so to keep you riveted on the sermon but couldn't do something else or someone that couldn't preach but knew the apostles creed and thing like that by heart.

 Isobel khune finally got to go back him this is after she had to deliver that baby they whent to America and first they whent to see isbels mom and dad they whent theirs and theirs dad had gone in debt three hundred dollars and they where afraid he would die because of it so they all went on a family vacation to a cottage on an island then they whent to Pennsylvania to see isbels husband's family

Norman stepped out of a train he was 12 and he was going to spend the next five years at a school he had never been to. A man stepped up you are normal Grubb I presume he said. Yes, sir said norman well come on said the person I am your headmaster the school is half a mile walk on the pleasant quayside follow me. As they walked the headmaster asked him questions on the land around them. As norman soon figured out they learned a lot about things like that.
