While patriot troops were discouraged and were on the losing end of many battles, this battle changed the course of the war. Read through firsthand accounts from letters and journal entries, view battle maps, and even read through a secret encoded message. The last few pages are dedicated to further reading selections, internet fact sites, critical thinking questions, as well as a glossary and index. Pgs. 64 | pb ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Untold Story of the Battle of Saratoga
The story behind two battles collectively known as the Battle of Saratoga makes an unforgettable tale, yet it's unfamiliar to many people. These battles are considered the turning point of the American Revolution. They halted Britain's southern advance and convinced France to provide invaluable military support and monetary aid to the American cause. Without victories in Saratoga, the American struggle for liberty may have fallen apart.
As you are working through your early American history lessons, add on some additional readers about some key people, battles, and regiments from the Revolutionary War. These brief and informational books are full of notable pieces of artwork, pages from primary source journals and letters, and plenty of "Did you Know" factoids. There is shared information between each book, yet each book is specific to its topic. There is no intended order for reading these books and so they are easy to just pick up and read. Utilize the books for your vocab or spelling activities as each is equipped with its own glossary. The texts also include timelines, source notes, bibliographies, and additional readings. Get a glimpse of early colonial life through these books and engage with history through the words of famous founding fathers. ~Rebecca
