The British were advancing on Washington. James Monroe, the Secretary of State, sends a note to Stephen Pleasonton, a clerk, to remove the documents from Washington. Problem-solving in the midst of chaos, Pleasonton encounters many hurdles and saves our country's important documents. An amazing, little-known story. This picture book is a necessary addition for any study of our country's history, the War of 1812, and when memorizing sections of our nation's documents.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
