Synopsis:
The first patriot killed in the American Revolution was an African American, Crispus Attucks. Over 5000 African Americans fought in George Washington's Continental Army. Very few black patriot heroes have been identified in American history books. In the southern colonies slaves were not allowed to fight, but an exception was Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, who allowed both African Americans and Native Americans to fight in his militia. In Almost Invisible - Black Patriots of the American Revolution, Kate Salley Palmer writes about 25 African Americans who helped the colonies gain independence from Great Britain. Kate did the vivid illustrations for the book in watercolor and gouache.
About the Author: Kate Salley Palmer was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina and was an elementary teacher and nationally syndicated political cartoonist before she started writing and illustrating picture books for children. Since the early 90's she has written and/or illustrated over 20 books for children. Her first, A Gracious Plenty, was published by Simon and Schuster. She illustrated another book, How Many Feet in the Bed, for Simon and Schuster, and ten for other national publishers, including Boyds Mills Press and Albert Whitman. Since 1998, she has written and illustrated seven books for Warbranch Press, a regional publisher in Clemson, South Carolina. These include: The Pink House, The Little Chairs, Francis Marion and the Legend of the Swamp Fox, Palmetto - Symbol of Courage, Almost Invisible: Black Patriots of the American Revolution and her newest one, First South Carolinians.
