Historical Fiction

Trinity is reading a historical fiction novel set in Yale, B.C. in 1882.  From a description in the novel she has drawn the map below.  The one above is a current map of the town.  She was so thrilled to see that St. John the Divine church is still standing on Douglas St.   We will take a field trip there when she is finished her novel study.



Kyler has been reading "Stop that Stagecoach!" which is a historical fiction novel that depicts a journey from Montreal to Peterborough (Upper Canada) in 1833.  We looked on Google maps to compare the time it takes now to how long it took back then.
