December 19, 1777, Friday
I woke to sleet hitting the window and another sound I'd not heard before. A drumbeat. Papa came in from milking and said, "The
soldiers are coming."
Finally, through the gray, we saw them. Three officers on horseback Wer outside to cheer, but the men were quiet and thin.
The sight of them took my breath away.
"They have no shoes," Elizabeth whispered.
We watched for several minutes as they passed by. We were unable to speak. Their footprints left blood in the snow. As I write
this upstairs, my candle low and our room cold, I think I shall never again complain.
