My Brother Sam is Dead Ch. 13

Tim got 3 of the cows back to the barn and then Mother and Tim 

• had to butcher the 4th cow out in the field.
• went to bed.
• butchered all seven of the cows left.
• went back to work in the Inn.

Putnam was looking for someone to 

• help Sam.
• find beef.
• make an example of to the troops.
• lead the army.

Gen. Parsons told Tim that 

• he would handle it and take care of Sam.
• there was nothing he could do. It was up to Gen. Putnam.
• he should not worry. It will be all settled quickly.
• I don't have time to talk to you.

Why was Mother the one to go talk to Gen. Putnam?

• She would cry and get the sympathy of Gen. Putnam.
