Review
The Minute Boys of Bunker Hill finds young Roger and his friends in the thick of the action again, this time just adjacent to Boston at the Battle of Bunker HIll. The awful specter of the battlefield, the hazards of prison, and the deprivations of the home front cannot deter him and his young friends from their patriotic duty. Once again, he stands side-by-side with some of the greatest men of his day, including Samuel Adams, Joseph Warren, and William Prescott.
Including reproductions of original illustrations, helpful glossaries, crisp typesetting, sturdy bindings, and clean design, these books are a part of an impressive enterprise launched by the Lost Classics Book Company to reurrect the ideas and values of an earlier, more enduring American civilization -- World, "Books," Jul/Aug. 1997 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: The Minute Boys of Bunker Hill (w/glossary) (Paperback)
This is a great book! I am so sad that it is over. I am trying to look for The Minute Boys of Green Hill................I loved it so much. My Mom made me read it and after the first 20 pages I knew that she was right!!!!! Once again my Mom was right!!!! (just kidding) I would recommend this book to ALL kids..........boys and girls. It was kind of gross. And also, it was kind of sad. I usually do not like sad books, but this was balanced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good fun history,
This review is from: The Minute Boys of Bunker Hill (w/glossary) (Paperback)
My boys and I enjoyed this book. Literary critics will slam it for variosu reasons including the fact that it follows a fairly clear pattern. But ti works well as a fun, adventurous story that along the way encourages character and teaches about this period of history. We commend this book.
