"Patriots' Gold" is about an eager young boy who experiences many suspenseful situations on his unexpected mission to deliver gold to General Washington during the American Revolution. It is full of patriotism and loyalty to our country and conveys a sense of moral duty, even among the young, by working to make a positive difference in a developing new nation

I first picked up Patriots' Gold while visiting my grandfather. I loved the book so much I stayed up all night reading it. It is definatly a page turner. Even though it is a "children's book" don't let this stop you from reading a very interesting story. Historical fiction books may not be true but the make certain parts of history come alive for us and also gives us insight on how people acted in that time period. So, if you ever happen to stumble upon Patriots' Gold don't hesitate to read it.

young american sam woodbury is involved with alot of adventure during the revolution
of 1776,such as spying,deception,disguises-all to help the american cause of
independence from england. it almost seems like too much for a boy to handle!
i very much enjoyed this story. it was a light read but,a very good one for young
people or adults. the author has mixed fictional characters with some real life
ones like,alexander hamilton and george washington(at the very end). i found myself
learning a few archaic english words like-"bedlamite" and "syllabub"-the meanings are listed at the bottom of the pages with an-*.
this is a great read!
