Wow, this book is still a little boring. I have finished two or three chapters so far and Mrs. Clemons mentioned that after the first couple of chapters, it would pick up. So, I am going to stick with it. In these pages, Ada, after losing her father, has returned back to her house near Cold Mountain. While out on her porch, a young lady by the name of Ruby walked up to Ada and told her that Mrs. Swanger, the lady who brought Ada in after the loss to get her back on her feet, said she would and could use some help around the farm. Ada tried to say that she needed a man to do it but, Ruby replied all the men are at war (Civil War). Then, the story jumps back to Inman who has now abandoned the hospital and is walking to a place not mentioned. On the way, he is hiding from The Guard (Confederates?) who might bring Inman back to the army he fought for. Walking through a town, he gets jumped by three men but, manages to survive and kill them all. Then the story mentions about how Inman went to church only to see Ada. That is as far as I am and I'm pretty pumped to read more because I think it will get better. I'll continue to keep you guys updated on this story.
Check that image out. I picked it because it refers to how Ada needs help to survive and run the farm with her father, Monroe, now dead and gone.
These would be scythes. When Inman got jumped by those three men, one of them weilded a scythe. But, he wasn't very skilled at the art of swinging it so, Inman managed to take it from him. Using this weapon, he took down his enemies.
