Owen and the Civil War

After the Lincoln Museum trip I remembered that I had scanned some of Owen's report on the Civil War from last year that I'd found while cleaning out his backpack for this year.  As always I love his drawings.  It's not that they're are detailed....but oh are they ever expressive.  He's got some good quotes in here....

"Well, if I was there (in the Civl War) I would be scared, hungry, tired...maybe even dead!!  But I would not give up.  And there is something that scared every slave, a...SLAVEHOLDER!!"  Then he goes on to describe the Underground Railroad.

And I like the way he comes to terms with people supporting slavery.... "I learned that there's kinda anything you can believe in."  I can just see him shaking his head in puzzlement.

Man I love that boy.
