The voices of the children and teenagers have seldom been heard in historical accounts of the American Revolution. This book tells the story of the "forgotten" youngsters who engaged in the boycott of British goods and the battles that led up to the Declaration of Independence. It talks of their courageous exploits in 8 years of warfare, and more.
