My Journey

• Austin’s colony is the best. We left New Orleans because of the panic. We came on the a ship called the Lively. It was a fun and exiting trip here. It was also very colorful.

My Arrival

• I was willing to become a catholic and become a Mexican Citizen. I was hard working and honest. That’s what it took to live in Austin’s Colony.

1822

• This was probably the worst winter we had. There was still lumber everywhere and it was miserably cold. Many of us died but may of us survived.

1822

• Since it was so cold, the cattle died and we had no meat. The crops also wouldn’t grow so it was very difficult to eat.

1823

This was a better year for us. It was awful though because the Lively sank. We also had a dispute with the mexicans over cotton. The building slowed down because the ship sank.
