Blood Upon Our Land

The North West Resistance diary of Josephine Bourvier



The thought of no food is frightening, but so is the fact that there is little ammunition for the guns of our soldiers, though we hear that many of the women have been melting down their pots and making as many bullets as they can. Adrian and Papa are well armed, but some of our men have only old-fashioned muskets or duck guns. They are good enough for hunting, but if you are hunting men....I must not think of people in that way.


Middletons army has modern guns. They have cannon and something called a Gatling gun. Edmond says that the Gatling gun spits out bullets, hundreds and hundreds in less than a minute. Compared to those soldiers, we may as well be armed with brooms.
