4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Children in the American RevolutionBy Judith K. ArthurThis will be a fine book to read to the children in the 5th Grade. Here in Alabama; the fifth grade is dedicated to American History and I thought this book would be a good one to read to the class. It has stories of boys and girls; not necessarily; 10/11 year old children as these students are; but teenagers who participated in some way during that time in our history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One StarBy PcG4M3RBook is full of contradictions. Not worth it; and not historically accurate.
