If you liked any history books about the American Revolution you will like this informative book.
The American revolution by Bruce Bliven, Jr. is a fact filled book that will take you on a detailed adventure that covers many important battles such as Valley Forge. You can “watch” as the rebellious Americans take on the British and win against tremendous odds. It has detailed maps so you can really know what’s going on, and a few pictures of the rebel’s forts and historic buildings. If you want to know about the American revolution, this is the book for you!
My favorite part is when there is a picture of an old fort with lots of cannons. That is cool.
I think we should all notice when the Americans were cold, and hungry, and hurt, they just kept on fighting. We should take that as a lesson and never give up.
I like the book because I can connect with the soldiers in the battlefield because I play outside and get hurt sometimes, and just imagine how worse it would have been for the soldiers.
