The voices of the children and teenagers who witnessed the American colonies' transformation to an independent nation have seldom been heard. This historical account of the American Revolution 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 recounts their courageous exploits in eight years of warfare on land and sea and amid changing social forces that shaped and transformed their post-war lives.The author researched eyewitness accounts-diaries, journals, letters, and memoirs-of a hundred boys and girls between the ages of five and sixteen: black and white, loyalist and revolutionary, imprisoned and enslaved.The book follows the chronology of the American Revolution across two decades from 1770, when the boycott of British goods throughout the American colonies gained momentum, to 1789, when George Washington was sworn in as the first president of a new and independent nation.It introduces children and teenagers who fought in the American War of Independence as soldiers, sailors, and spies. It reveals how deeply children are affected by warfare. It draws upon 18th century children's diaries and letters.
