An Early Women's Rights Fighter,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Molly Pitcher: Young Patriot (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
Molly Pitcher lived around the time of the Revolutionary War and she wanted to do the things the boys and men in her family did. She was smart but she couldn't go to school because she was a girl. She was brave and did things to help her family. She gave water to the soldiers and they called her Molly Pitcher because they wanted her to bring them the pitcher of water. When she was an adult she foughtbesude her husband in the war and took over firing the canon when he couldn't. She won an award from General George Washington and was made an honorary soldier. This book gives good examples of what life was like when people had to pay taxes to England and it shows how the war started.

This review is from: Molly Pitcher: Young Patriot (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
When I was younger, I enjoyed read the books in the Childhood of Great Americans Series, and this was one of my favorites. It tells about Molly Pitcher's (no, that is not her real name)childhood and continues to briefly describe her life when she grew up. This book portrays history to young children in an interesting, as well as informative, way. If you like this book, then you will definently like the book Abigail Adams, of this same series.

This review is from: Molly Pitcher: Young Patriot (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
I love books that help my kids learn about real people from history. This book was fun to read and made you feel like you knew Molly. It focuses on her childhood, but also included the story of her helping the American soldiers during the Revolutionary War after she was grown. My biggest concern is that I don't think it will hold up well over the years because it was printed on low quality paper. It was inexpensive, so I wasn't surprised at the paper quality, but it is the sort of book I'd like to keep around, so we'll see how it holds up.
