Read the passage from “Part of the Stew.”

Luckily, Major General Andrew Jackson arrived before the whole town boiled over. We knew right away that he was serious about maintaining order, because he put us all under martial law. Anyone on the streets past 9:00 p. m. could be arrested. In addition, all men able to bear arms were put into service. As a fourteen-year-old, I was too young to serve, but my Pa suddenly became an army man. On the eighth of the month, Jackson held a grand review of the new troops, and the whole town turned out to see them. I was mighty proud when my Pa fell into line with Antonio the grocer, Hans from the shipyard, and Miguel our neighbor.
