“This book will delight visual learners, history lovers, and trivia enthusiasts. It would also validate the diversity of the United States's heroes, encourage critical thinking, and inspire further research. A solid addition to any library or classroom.”―School Library Journal
Description
Introducing Forgotten Founders, the inspiring book of stories about the heroic women, African Americans, Native Americans, immigrants, and others who played pivotal roles in America's birth. Make no mistake: these were no historical footnotes. These were brave men and women without whom the war simply could never have been won and the new republic never begun.
Readers will meet
Sybil Ludington, the sixteen-year-old girl who rode all night to warn of a British attack
Nancy Hart: the indomitable woman who captured six Loyalist soldiers
Cuffee Wells Saunders, the talented physician who won his freedom and saved lives serving in the Continental Army
Phyllis Wheatley, the gifted Black poet whose work was praised by Voltaire and George Washington
Deborah Sampson, the colonial woman who dressed as a man to enlist in the Continental Army
Peter Salem, the former slave who became the hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill
and many more!
Read, learn, and discover in beautiful new ways that America's origin story really is everybody's story.
