AMERICAN REVOLUTION by Mary Pope Osborne

Did you ever wonder what Paul Revere would have done if he had forgotten his spurs the night of his famous ride? Do you want to know how Molly Pitcher got her name? Then read American Revolution by Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie Pope Boyce. It is part of the Magic Tree House research series.

American Revolution tells you facts about America during the Colonial and Revolutionary times. You could learn about weapons or famous people. It tells you how people lived and worked in the colonies. It also follows the events of the American Revolution.

My favorite part was the section on weapons. It has lots of cool facts about them. Did you know that a cannon could hit a target 100 yards away? Or that a bayonet is a sword that fits on a musket?

If you like reading about history then American Revolution is the book for you.
