Statement of Process

While I was working on this project my largest problems were, writing the descriptive paragraph, bibliography because finding the right information and placing it in a certain form is just difficult to me, and the character profile. I had absolutely no clue how to write them, and only had a handful of guidance. My biggest successes for this project were the puzzle and the obituary. When I first started it took me a while to actually get started but when I did I religiously wrote one post every day. I was sailing through until I finished my time line because I had run out of genres that I knew how to do. I had much encouragement from my friends to finish the project because I saw them finishing theirs while I was still stuck, this made me work even harder. The bibliography was the hardest to complete because I had mostly Internet sources and I had to have at least three or five book sources. My topic was the generals of the war of 1812, and I chose this topic because I was interested in this war so I thought it would be the best decision. Another big problem was that some of the information was incorrect so I had to look at multiple sights to find the right answer for one battle or general such as my timeline: there was a sight that said he was educated and signed on the army around the 1790's while the same sight said he was born in the 1800's.
I had a lot of fun with this project in the beggining because there was a larger source of information, and I had this really cool site that I would use to find battles and generals because there was a list of all the battles of the War of 1812.

Descriptive Paragraph

He Felt great hate for general James Wilkinson, He smelled the odor of wafting gunpowder from the battle at Chrysler's Farm, he heard the popping of guns the roaring of cannon fire and the screaming of dying soldiers, he saw many American and British forces clashing like water and lava. His name is General Wade Hampton of the British Army. He died at the age of eighty four.

character profile

General Jacob Jennings Brown was a skilled general of his time. He won more victories against the British than any other in two years. He founded Brownstown, which was raided by both English and Tecumseh's warriors, and eventually captured. In 1810 he was made the brigadier general in the state militia. He died was injured and served until his death, during these days he was forgotten.

News Article

Americans Ambushed at Brownstown
Breaking News: Americans defeated by the Shawnee and the British at Brownstown. Captain Bush sent a message for help to General William Hull with the hopes of convincing him to send troops to help secure the depot after spotting the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and possibly some British regulars, and some of his warriors. Acknowledging this urgent request, General Hull sent Major Van Horne and two hundred Ohio Militia to help secure the area. When the troops arrived they were ambushed from the southern side of the supply depot by twenty four native warriors and Tecumseh. The now confused Americans began to retreat. The Natives pursued until they reached the Ecorces river. The American loss? eighteen men killed twelve wounded and seventy missing, while the natives only lost one man, a chief (name not specified). This small skirmish showed how insecure the Ohio supply depot was. General Hull was convinced that his troops were outnumbered by both British and "Indian" forces.
