Publisher's Synopsis
First, this book does not contain any content about torture and distortion stories, kidnapping, burning, or any negative events that had a relationship with killing; it's just for children who are dreamers and who want to benefit from the positive experiences of the American Revolutionary War.
If you grew up attending the American school system, you likely feel confident in your knowledge of the Revolutionary War. George Washington, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Paul Revere, the Surrender at Yorktown-what else could there possibly be? But as with any war, and especially any revolutionary period, there were a number of events so odd and positive that teaching them is nearly impossible.
This book is a collection of stories based on real-life events during the Revolutionary War. A selection of 10 inspiring stories introduces us to unique characters with different characteristics.
You will read about different kinds of stories, more daring characters, heroic actions, and men and women who risked their lives in a war zone to save others.
As an American citizen passionate about children's literature and teaching them the importance of our world history, I take pride in knowing that countless patriotic actions are occurring every day in this great nation. To further these lessons, I have chosen ten short stories that describe situations that revolve around values such as courage, empathy, solidarity, friendship, and responsibility. I share these stories in hopes that they will inspire young readers and show them that positive lessons can be taught even during difficult periods and destructive wars.
Whether the inspiring stories of bravery, battles, discovering history, patriotism, and heroic actions of our ancestors or just American Revolution facts are your thing, you're sure to find something here that will keep you interested and turning the pages.
That is what history is all about: learning from the past and having the willingness to use past events as references to build a better future. It allows us to be better prepared to face the challenges that life throws at us. So, open this book and your mind and see other things that you may not know existed.
