Heroes of the Revolution by David A. Adler illustrated Donald A. Smith*

Twelve individuals who had a big impact on the Colonies' rebellion and fight against Britain are featured with a full page illustration and a couple paragraphs about their contributions and their "story". (Ethan Allen, Crispus Attucks, Lydia Darragh, Nathan Hale, Mary Hays-"Molly Pitcher", Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Paul Revere, Haym Salomon, Deborah Sampson, George Washington)
Very succinctly summarized with compelling facts.
-I own this book.
*Highly recommend.
