Summary.

In 1771 Benjamin was 40 years old. He was still living in his mothers cabin. Benjamin heard shouts and hammering and roaring water. So he went there and met the Ellicott brothers who were building a wheat mill for the community. He heard news about King George who was sending soldiers to the 13 colonies from England. The King was ruling the colonies and the Americans think he isnt ruling the colonies wisely, and they were tired of it and started complaining. Later on More British soldiers came and a revolutionary war was considered between the Americans and British in 1775. They didn't want a King across the sea to rule them anymore. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Indipendance to tell the whole world that King George had not treated them fairly. Now they are now free and independent United States. Andew Ellicott's song had tought Benjamin how to survey. George lent his survey stuff to Benjamin to understand astronamy. Benjamin learned how to predict on eclipse. The most important part was when the sun and moon would rise and what the weather would be. For practice he predicted an eclipse on the sun. After many nights of figuring with his compass and the ruler and the moon, he had made a copy of his drawings, measurments, and figures to George Ellicott.
