THE PHILLY GOSSIP

Today is july 3, 1863 and James steed is talking about the war that is coming our way this is the civil war and how we are going to lose the battle i hope that we do not lose. winfeild scot handcock is talking about how long he has been in this war and how many battles he has gone to but but hancock does not wan to fight this war because of gorge picett and him are really good friends and he had said that he wished that this day would of never came for his troops to battle gorge picetts troops but it did. I got a quote that handcock said everyone is too hot and to tired to fight. They had no more room in the hospital for any more hurt soilders one sargent already died hs woons were way to bad and they could not help him his lost left to sad boys alive. Okay now they have fored time to start the war we are now shooting back at them woo one guy down no time to stop and help him hopefully he makes it through when we come back to get him. This war ois crazy bye the time we start we have lets say 850 men and at the end were lucky if we have 50 men left sometimes more but not alaways it kinda hurts to the men die and there familys cry but at least they died a hero and everyone will here of them in the future and will no that he died supporting his country .jhon hancock jumped of his horse and one of the guys said please get on your horse we can not lose you sir. Jhon handcock said this (qoute there are times when a cores commanders life does not count ) Louis armersteed lou for short really does not want to fight against handcock armsteed is talking to a bristish officer who is there to observe the war and how they fight and he said we have to get some more amnition before we run out .The bristish officer is talking about the uncle and the star spangled bannerd he tryed to stop them from charging but one of them said the soliders would charge wheather there was a officer there or not .Oh wow we are now moving and i can hear drum s and the men shouting virgina we are marching to them now they are shooting at us and we are dying it smells like gun powder and blood this is going to smell bed tomarow becuase it might be hot we are so close oh wow harmersteed is shot oh no they said we have to moveed untill enerangment over get me a turnit before i bleed to dealth his last words were to tell handcock i am sorry and i do regret there were 850 men when we started and now there probly only 100 left
