I wonder who the thieves are, I think they are the rebel soldiers getting food so they can survive.

I was wondering if Mrs.Baxter's shed for the chickens had a lock on the door?

I like your book becouse I thought that the chapter "The Tunlers" was about the under ground railroad.

some people in our class were making predictions about who stole the eggs and what was making the cow give less milk. When we scrolled down we saw on chapter 8 that there was a man that looked different than Betsy, was he a prisoner?

i really liked this one because it was a mystery because someone stole the eggs and I really wanted to know who was the theif.

Glad you guys are liking it! I don't know how many of you are from Elmira, but Ken, it was really fun for Christopher and I to come down there and actually walk on the ground where the prison stood, and see all the pictures at the historical society and then go up to the cemetery and see all the graves of the prisoners. I hope that you who live there will get a chance to do those things, too, because it makes you realize that history is a real thing that happened to real people (even though only one person in this story is real -- but he was an awfully cool guy in real life!)
