The Revolution had famous names. This book is about everyone else.
At dawn on April 19, 1775, a handful of farmers, blacksmiths, and shopkeepers stood on Lexington Green and faced the most powerful army on earth. The shot fired that morning began a war and a brand-new nation.
We all know the famous founders. But the American Revolution was also carried by people history almost forgot. Two hundred and fifty years later, their stories are some of the bravest and most surprising of all.
Founding Patriots brings 18 unforgettable true stories of the everyday heroes of 1775 to life for young readers:
- Sybil Ludington, just 16, who rode 40 miles alone through the dark twice as far as Paul Revere.
- Salem Poor, a formerly enslaved man whose courage at Bunker Hill led 14 officers to petition on his behalf.
- Samuel Whittemore, a 78-year-old farmer who took on the British army by himself and lived to 96.
- Mercy Otis Warren and Abigail Adams, who fought for liberty with the power of the pen.
- ...and Paul Revere, Henry Knox, Joseph Warren, Lemuel Haynes, Ethan Allen, and many more.
