Essay on Thomas E Ricks
THOMAS E RICKS BY:Midge
Thomas E Ricks founded BYU Idaho.He faced many scary but fascinating accidents. If I were you I would keep reading.
In 1884 Ricks broke his leg while riding a horse. He was riding it when it fell over and landed on his left leg as the result he had to use a cane for the rest of his life even though he broke his leg there's much worse things that are going to happen then just breaking his leg.
On June 6,1884 a group of Native Americans attacked Rick's pioneer company. Ricks and some other men in the camp went to persue them. Remember when I said that something much worse is going to happen instead of breaking his leg well I think you're going to find out what is going to happen. Well when the men got there they got ambushed. Ricks got shot THREE TIMES!!! two times in the kidneys and one time in the backbone the men in the camp thought Ricks was dead but the good thing was he wasn't! The men went back and told Rick's father, Joel, he was dead. Devestated Joel went out to look for the dead body, but instead he found him clinging to life on the ground. Quickly Joel took him safely back to the camp. Thomas was okay after a while of resting and care.
Now you might be wondering when in the world is Thomas going to found BYU Idaho! Well listen up because on November 12,1888 Ricks college was founded! Later on it was changed to BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, but for short called BYU Idaho. Soon Thomas E Ricks died at age 73, but he will be remeberd by the memorial garden made for him.Thank you for reading.
I did this essay in my 5th grade class and performed a small piece for our class's We The People presentation. Thomas E. Rick's is my great great great grandpa.
