- 1. My Journey ;)<3. By: Desiree Hernandez
- 2. Introduction I came to Austin’s Colony because we needed to go somewhere so my parents could support our family. We came from our run down wagon waiting for something to call home.
- 3. Introduction When we went to the West it was very dry and hot but it seemed nice, I think I’m going to like this place!
- 4. 1822 My mom and I went to see how the weather was outside and it was a blizzard! Trees were being knocked down, it was bad. We went to go check on the cattle and the trees fell on the barnyard!
- 5. 1822 We called for help and found out all our cattle were dead. We started to build but we needed lumber. And theLivelywas late so we were almost broke.
- 6. 1823 We found out the Lively had sank. There was a dispute with Mexicans over the export of cotton. It was a wonderful year for the cattle.
- 7. 1823 It was a very mild winter. There was a small demand for the lumber. And not a lot of building.
- 8. 1824 The colony was very successful. The crops were doing well and growing like they should.
- 9. 1824 Then there was a HIGH demand for lumber, and lots of building. And more demand for beef.
- 10. Concluding At the end of the year my family lost a lot of money. From living in La Bahia, since we were so far in the border that Indians attacked us.
- 11. Concluding So, our family lost $2,000 dollars. We are going to go up north. At least now I know that I had a wonderful time here and hope to live better up north!
