Forgotten Heroes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235118430)

You know Paul Revere's ride. Do you know about the man who rode the same night in the other direction - the first Black elected official in American history?

You know Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia. Do you know about the Welsh minister whose pamphlet reached 180,000 readers and helped push America toward independence?

You know Valley Forge. Do you know about the Quaker housewife who crept to a door in occupied Philadelphia and saved Washington's army from a surprise attack?

Forgotten, Now Remembered tells the stories of twenty-six people who helped win the American Revolution - and were forgotten anyway. They are diverse, dramatic, and entirely real. Their contributions changed the course of the war. Their names deserve to be known.

For the 250th anniversary of American independence, this is the book that tells the rest of the story. Illustrated throughout with original watercolor portraits by the author.
