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.

Tuesday

William Howe was tutored at home as a child and then attended a private school called Eton. At the school he met and became friends with alot of the men who would run the British government and military during the war with the American colonies.
