This book was written by Marilyn Boyer who is deeply patriotic and passionate about America's Christian history.
This book introduces us to the lives of ten famous people during the American Revolution. Paul Revere, John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, Betsy Ross, John Starke, Mad Anthony Wayne, John Sevier, Reverend James Caldwell, Nathanael Greene, Emily Geiger, and Marquis de Lafayette
The stories are engaging, and great to keep a young reader's interest. I have been to Sevierville Tennessee many times. It was so interesting to read about the man that area was named for.
This is part of the What a Character Series of books. This is great to read as a stand-alone or to accompany your history books.

Excellent addition to this series!
Heroes of the War for Independence is an excellent addition to the What a Character! series. It covers the time period of 1775-1783 and includes stories about Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, Mad Anthony Wayne and more!
We have loved being able to pull this volume out as we studied the American Revolution while reading through America's Story 1. Being able to dig deeper into the lives of the people we encounter has truly brought history to life for my kids. They love this series and are constantly reaching for the books on their own.
This is definitely a book to add to your collection!
