home life in Boston, introduces the reader to the British camp at
Charlestown, shows Gen. Warren at home, describes what a boy
thought of the battle of Bunker Hill, and closes with the raising

the Carolinas. General Marion's arrival to take command of these

Simon Kenton's life history which is not usually touched upon
either by the historian or the story teller. This is one of the
most entertaining books for young people which has been
published.
