Race for a New Life

Wagons of all shapes and sizes came into view. Josh saw people riding horses and mules. Some were riding bicycles. Others were on foot. He even saw one man riding a cow. Josh could also see train cars. People filled the slow-moving trains. The dust and the noise were terrible! Suddenly it became quieter. John pointed to a solider. Josh saw the soldier look at his watch. Then he put a bugle to his lips. Other soldiers held their rifles in the air. Then Josh heard a loud bugle note. It was followed by rifle shots. The crowd in front of Josh burst over the starting line. They were soon lost in a cloud of black dust!
