Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The American Revolution was full of odd events not usually included in history books. Some of these events include: the tar and feathering of British supporters and battles taking place in farmers' fields. Readers will find many new and sometimes funny facts in this book, such as patriot soldiers leaving the war to harvest their crops. Surprising fact boxes and distinctive historical information engage readers with a unique look at the Revolutionary War. Detailed illustrations further emphasize that whether colonists were for, against, or indifferent about independence, war affected them all.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 23) and index.
