Patriots of African descent in the Revolutionary War. Part 1

Lane, Marion T. (Author). Kalpart (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: Many children do not know that African indentured servants, as well as free blacks and slaves, all assisted in the founding of our nation. There were between 5,000 to 20,000 patriots of African and Native American descent who served in the Continental Forces under the command of General George Washington. Using a fictional modern-day African American family, this new picture book is a mostly factual account told by the family historian to his great-grandson about their family's military and patriotic service as African Americans during the Revolutionary War. The two are (fictional) direct descendants of two patriots. One was a free black man, Sergeant Isaac Brown, who served in the 7th, 11th and 15th Virginia Regiments of the Continental Line. Readers ages eight and older will be fascinated as they learn about our country's forgotten patriots.
