5.0 out of 5 stars Kids need heroes, March 12, 2005
Mr. Moniz book teaches kids that heroes are not just the famous people of history. While it gives excellent accounts of the famous like Paul Revere and James Monroe, it gives homage to people we never heard of such as Salem Poor, an African American who fought at Bunker Hill.

The book provides an excellent incentive to young readers that one person can make a difference and every person should try.

The amount of research Mr. Moniz' put into this book is exemplified by the bibliograhy. The glossary does an excellent job of making archaic miltary and political terms understandable to youth.

I highly reccomend this book to be required reading for young students of American history. It should also be encouraged reading for young people who feel that they would like to contribute to their country someday. Many people in Mr. Moniz' book did so, selflessly, and to our shared benefit. This book is wonderful tribute to the "little guys" who made us a great contry.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important and recommended addition, June 13, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
There are a great many books available for young readers on the subject of George Washington and the American Revolution. What sets Marc Stockwell-Moniz's George Washington's Unsung Heroes apart from the others is an emphasis on the ordinary people who involved themselves in carrying out the campaigns that led to the founding of the United States of America. While there are chapters about John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Alexander Hamilton, the primary focus is upon such usually overlooked figures as Salem Poor (an African-American soldier who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill and was with George Washington and the Continental Army at Valley Forge); Phillis Wheatley (the first African-American slave to publish a book); John Peter Muhlenberg (an ordained minister who became a brigadier general in the Continental Army and later served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives); Tench Tilghman (who served as Washington's aide-de-camp and secretary for two years without salary until Washington wrote to the Congress insisting that Tilghman be given a commission and a paycheck); as well as the stories of Benjamin Tallmadge (America's first "spy master"), and so many others. George Washington's Unsung Heroes is an important and recommended addition to school and community library American History and American Biography collections for young readers.
