Reflection
After looking at others, I found that I didn't do such a great job on this project. I feel that I got stuck with a pretty hard person. I would much rather have someone like George Washington. I borrowed two books from the library recommended by two different librarians and found close to nothing, But after looking hard enough I found site called "bookrags.com". It gave me a decent amount of information and I can research a lot of different things there.
I found out some new words which I will later post and a few things about the revolution and of course William Howe.

My opinion...
In my opinion i think William Howe is a good man. He was a great soldier but an undeserving general. He wasn't very experienced and he bought himself a rank in the army called cornet.
Early Career
William entered the army when he was seventeen by buying a Cornet's commission. By the next year, he was fighting as a Lieutenant. He joined the 20th Regiment of Foot where he became a friend of James Wolfe.
