Compiled for Washington’s Birthday and the Fourth of July, this anthology gathers stories of the Revolution by many hands. Jabez Rockwell’s powder-horn, the little lord of the manor, Hawthorne’s old Esther Dudley, Betty’s daring ride, the first blow for liberty at Lexington and the battle of Bunker’s Hill are among the episodes, mixing history with fireside tales of loyalists and patriots.
A handy family read-aloud for Independence Day, gathered by Asa Don and Helen Winslow Dickinson. Download the free EPUB.
