Baker's Story

"The Redcoat Children"


by Henrietta Winston (C.S.)









  My name is Henrreta Winsten. I’m 30 years old. I work as a baker. I have a husband named Collin and three kids named May Bell, John, and MaryAnne. This story starts out in a town called Acronsville during the Independence War. Collin and I were working in the bakery one day when we heard three screams. It was the red coats taking our children. We closed the shop as fast as we could and went to Stwert McGrow, the general. He called a town meeting. Everyone was devastated. When Mary Jane found out she was very upset. They were her best students. McGrow called some troops and said” search the red coats camp for the Winsten Children.” They called back saying that the children were wearing red coats. That night I cried my self to sleep. But during the night I heard a horse riding through town. It was Collin. He went to find the kids. When he came back he had the kids. They had a ceremony for him. But in the middle of it the British started attacking. They wanted the children. We fought a war and won because they surrendered. Collin and I were so happy.
