one day,in March 1865, there was a great wind. It began quite suddenly. It pulled down trees and buildings across the world. It sent many ships to the bottom of the sea.
when the wind began, there were four men, a boy and a dog high in the sky in a balloon. How did they get there?
In America in 1865, there was fighting between the north of the country and the south. These four men were prisoners in the town of Richmond, Virginia. in the south.
