Quick update on NHD

Hello everyone!
 Sorry for the long time between posts. I just wanted to give a quick update on NHD. After picking The Homestead Act of 1862 as our topic, we began our research slowly. We read several books as well as several websites. We then interviewed Willliam's great grandpa, who went with his parents to homestead at the age of three in Montana. (He has an incredible memory.) then, we went to Homestead National Monument in Beatrice, Nebraska. There we looked over several hours of video footage taken by the rangers for a documentary that they made. We also interviewed the park historian (Who was extremely helpful) and we met the Park Superintendent who gave us park coins. (I will write about those in the next post.) We are now beginning the intense research, which means working for a couple hours each day on the project. More later! Thanks for reading!
