Getting ready for Williamsburg


This is the book my son Ray is reading to get ready for our trip. As an 8 year old boy history can be really really dull, until Momma finds a super book.

So far we have discovered:
They have to hunt for their food
The children have to sleep on a wooden mat
Male servants had to clear the land by hand
Some servants could buy their freedom
The best way to travel was by boat
Some blamed witches for bad weather
The medicine didn't just taste bad it smelt horrible too
There was NO toliet paper you had to use corn husks or cobs
