The American Revolutionaries

My kids read a chapter of this every night. They are enjoying the opportunity to get a more translucent perspective of what the American struggle is and the ideals that surrounded the will to preserve it over time. Especially during election time, I highly recommend sharing some of the positive ideals that our country was founded on through the eyes of the people who struggled through it.

This book is about the times and diffuculties that the the American soldiers endured. Milton Meltzer gathered lots of information about the war, as in many of the other " A history in You Own Words" series. The book is different because the way the author gives you his information is a first person diary entry account. The emotion pours from the " Entry's in the book." The battles are exciting and the talking seems dull afterwords. " Whatcha had for breakfast" " Firecake and water, Sir later. " Whatcha havin for dinner" " Firecake and water, sir. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes the ( American)Revolutionary war
