Reviews

Gr 1-5--A collection of alphabetically arranged, easy-to-read biographies on some well-known Revolutionary War figures such as Abigail Adams and Betsy Ross and lesser-known heroines, including Emily Geiger and Sybil Ludington. Each three-to-four page biographical sketch starts with a bit of information about the Revolution and goes on to explain how the woman was involved in it and what she did to distinguish herself. No other biographical data is included. Interesting little tidbits on different aspects of life during the war, such as travel, beds, tea, handicrafts, etc., appear throughout in gray-shaded fact boxes. Unfortunately, undocumented dialogue and feelings appear in almost every chapter. Full-color illustrations, many of them full-page, set the time and place and enliven the text. There is a simple map of the colonies in the 1770s, a brief history of the American flag with pictures, a good index, and a chronology of important dates and events. An attractive offering--as long as children are aware that, despite its Dewey classification, this is not truly nonfiction.
