Little Spy of Vincennes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997383362)

Pierre Grimard was a courageous little boy who lived with his parents on the Northwest Frontier in Colonial America. His home was in Vincennes, a tiny, peaceful French settlement on the banks of the majestic Wabash River. In his humble village there were hard-working farmers, crusty fur-trappers, tribes of majestic Indians, and an army of fearsome British soldiers. Pierre absolutely loved his frontier life. Every day was a new and exciting adventure. The creeks, forests, and fields were full of a lifetime of amazing, fun discoveries. But in the winter of 1778-79 his quiet, boring village became an important battlefield in the conflict of the American rebellion against England. Rugged soldiers from Virginia invaded the region to fight against the British Army. The Frenchmen who lived in Vincennes, including Pierre's father, had to choose a side in the violent war. The question was ... would they choose the right side? Would the peaceful French people of the Illinois Country be able to survive yet another bloody war on the American continent? Little Spy of Vincennes tells the exciting story of a young French-American boy who joined with his father in the great battle for liberty and freedom known as the American Revolution.
