The FSMS school has done it again with another great slide.In class we had done a project where each student would put their money in either cotton, lumber, or cattle over a three year period. This is one of the best outcomes.

1. My time in austin’s colony
Soc. Stud. 3

By Jared White

2. Arrival
I came to san Felipe to have a fresh start. My
wife left me and I took the kids. I only had
$1,000 and had to pay $67.2 a year. I was
working with $932.8 trying to make a living.

3. Arrival
• I traveled with a group of Spanish men. It was
a hard travel but worth it in the end. I
qualified for land because I was a black smith
,and they could use one. Finally I qualified for
1,680 acres of land, because it was me the
kids and a couple of the Spaniards,

4. Year of 1822
• In 1822 I put almost all my money in
lumber, and good thing I did. There was
houses being made so lumber was very
needed.

5. Year of 1822
• There was a harsh winter so lots of cattle died
and the lively arrived late. My competition
was dead and I ended the year with $2,700.
I was starting a life.

6. Year of 1823
• In 1823 I put my money in cattle. Which was
another success. The winter had very few
storms so the cattle arrived.

7. Year of 1823
• The lively sank so cotton failed again. Also
there was few houses being made so lumber
was not that good. I ended that year with
$7,575. My life was getting really good.

8. Year of 1824
• I put all my $7,575 in cotton. Big risk I
know, but it paid of. The colony thrived for
cotton crop.

9. Year of 1824
• There was high demand for lumber, and high
demand for beef, but like I said they thrived
cotton. And I ended 1824 with $22,987.2.
I was filthy rich!

10. Town I lived in
• I lived in San Felipe and at the end of that year
I got a $600 bonus for living there. I started
with $932.8 and ended with $22,700.2. It
hade been a good 3 years

11. Decision of where to live after 1824
• I decided to go back home with the kids. And
try to patch it up with my wife. I think coming
here was the best decision I have made in a
long time, but not marrying my wife. We got
back together and are happily married again.
(I wonder why). I do recommend going to
austins colony but only to good business men
and women.
