| During
wartime, there are times when young people are pressed into service in
spite of their youth. This was certainly true during the Revolutionary
War. Children played a role in the fighting as well as supporting
the troops. This is a collection of short stories that are fictionalized
accounts of what some of the children may have done before, during and
after the war. There is information that explains the events being
discussed. Read these stories and see if you can imagine yourself
as one of these brave children. |
