Ft. Larned, Kansas

Hi, this is Kelsey. I'm excited to share my trip with you! My dad has assigned me this blog as writing homework! I like having him as my teacher.
Today I saw an army fort that was along the Santa Fe Trail. Fort Larned protected the Santa Fe Trail from angry Native Americans. Foot soldiers walked with each wagon, person or family. Back at the fort, life was not easy. The men had to wear wool long-sleeve shirt and pants with a wool coat on when they went outside. They had to sleep four men to a bunk, 2 men to a level!
