Pueblos

The pueblos of Texas were once the homes of two Texas tribes. They were the Jumano and the Zuni. How you would get inside the pueblo was unique. There would be stairs leading up to the roof, and on the roof, there would be a hole where you could climb into the house. In the pueblos, there would be a latter inside the house to get to the basement. The basement is where all the meetings took place. Another fact about the pueblos is that when the family grew, they would build more rooms. For example, If you lived in a pueblo, and you were an only child, you would have the smallest house in your village, but if you had a ton of siblings, you would have the biggest house. The pueblo homes were made out of adobe. Adobe was a combination of rock and dirt. These two were mixed and left out in the sun to harden. Pueblos are some of the most interesting homes in history.

John F. Kennedy's Assassination

On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, John F. Kennedy’s assassination took place in a moving vehicle. John F. Kennedy was in the vehicle with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally and John Connally’s wife, Nellie. As the car was driving along the road, high up in a building, Lee Harvey Oswald shot two bullets, one hitting John F. Kennedy in the head, and the other in his neck. Oswald’s third bullet hit John Connally, but the Governor was able to stay alive. Unfortunately, that was not the case for John F. Kennedy. Paramedics immediately took John F. Kennedy to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was declared dead. Two days later, on November 24, 1936, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby, ending Oswald’s life and the chance to understand why he shot the president.
