Book SynopsisThis is the story of one of history's great events, the American Revolutionary War, told almost entirely in the words of the soldiers and sailors who fought it and the civilians who endured it.
Trade Review"This absolutely enthralling chronicle of the American experience from 1600 to 1900 features personal testaments from scores of both prominent and ordinary citizens. Culled from letters, diaries, sermons, court records, newspapers, and a variety of other sources, these firsthand accounts offer an intimate glimpse into the everyday lives of Americans struggling and prospering through succeeding decades and centuries." -Margaret Flanagan, Booklist
