Day 1
When I was a kid, all I dreamed about was coming to North America, but look where that got me. My Father always told me, "why would you want to go there? we would have to start all over."
and I would tell him, "thats why I want to go."
eventually my father and mother were shipped off to North America, and I had to tag along. I grew up, they passed away, and I met Maria...

Americans announcing the traitors capture
Day 1 of capture
"This man, is the one who escaped from our prison at york. he is a British soldier that killed many of our brave men, and for that he will be hanged!"
as he said that the audience roared with approval, I could do nothing but watch.But u was lucky, the sounds of gunfire could be heard out of Oswego. the British had come, and imediately all of the American soldiers had rushed outside to fight them. I knew I could easily escape, but I just sat there, while the crowd ran into their homes.
Day 2 of capture
The British had won, and we were drinking some ale around the campfire. All though I showed happiness, I was grieving inside. although I knew that Maria was fine, I don't know what to my daughter. I am going to sleep and wait for what the new day has to offer me.

Sign posted around American controlled Canada
I found this sign when I was walking through York:
A reward will be given for a man with auburn hair, brow eyes and a blue British uniform. he has escaped from one of our prisons and he has still eluded our patrols. anyone seen helping will be forced out of their home and it will be burned! he is a traitor to the us and must not be allowed to get to the british forces!
5000 euros for this man.

letter from daryl mograine to maria
i was walking up to the entrance to find the camp abandoned! i searched through every home but there was no one. i am going to york hoping Maria will be there.
i have been traveling for two days only to find the buildings of york burning, the americans must have taken it and let nothing alive, but i had to search for Maria. i found her in a small farm house that was on fire, when i asked where cindy was she said that the americans had taken her. i was devastated. but i was determined to get her out...

Letter from Daryl to Maria
i will hurry, but i found a peice of parchment that says on it:
two days ago the americans attacked and now we are forced into labour, most of it is cutting down timber.
but the rest was smuged, i went towards a town and they chased me off as soon as they saw my tattered clothes. they must know i was a prisoner, but they also couldve learned it from my blue uniform. luckily i found an abandoned home and i will rest there for a while. be safe...

Letter from Maria to Daryl
most of the americans have taken over the towns nearby and im not sure how long it will be until they find us, alot of the loyalists have gone to war and we have no one to help us if the americans attack, please hurry!
