Whether in a classroom or just casual reading at home, these snapshots of American history help explain how our country was created with the help of young adults. From the ocean passages of the 1600s to our modern desert wars, Young Patriots contains lessons of virtue driven by action. Part I includes another view of the Salem witch trials explaining a mysterious phenomenon. During the War of 1812, a young man dodges the British warships while the Star Spangled Banner is being written, and two boys of different races team up to survive a Civil War battle. Part II illustrates how a U.S. II History class can come alive. Issues arise, and discussions form. From the street urchins of New York at the turn of the century to the homeless hoboes roaming the country during the Depression, we get a close-up of young people from long ago. A long-distance romance during World War II, the protesters of the Vietnam era, and the return of a young warrior from Desert Storm serve to give life to our more recent past. Great for additions to an academic setting, vacation reading, or actual test material with questions and answers included, Tales of Young Patriots will stir the imagination of young adults.

In the summer of 1776, Joseph Plumb Martin was a fifteen-year-old Connecticut farm boy who considered himself as warm a patriot as the best of them. He enlisted that July and stayed in the revolutionary army until hostilities ended in 1783. Martin fought under Washington, Lafayette, and Steuben. He took part in major battles in New York, Monmouth, and Yorktown. He wintered at Valley Forge and then at Morristown, considered even more severe. He wrote of his war years in a memoir that brings the American Revolution alive with telling details, drama, and a country boy's humor. Jim Murphy lets Joseph Plumb Martin speak for himself throughout the text, weaving in historical backfround details wherever necessary, giving voice to a teenager who was an eyewitness to the fight that set America free from the British Empire.

"This is the story that I tell my grandchildren at Christmas. I hope that this book will bring the tradition of sharing history to families all across America." -- Lynne Cheney Christmas night, 1776, was a troubled time for our young country. In the six months since the Declaration of Independence had been signed, General George Washington and his troops had suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of the British. It looked as though our struggle for independence might be doomed, when Washington made a bold decision. He would lead the main body of his army across the Delaware River and launch a surprise attack on enemy forces. Washington and his men were going against the odds. It seemed impossible that the ragtag Americans could succeed against the mightiest power in the world. But the men who started across the icy Delaware loved their country and their leader. Under his command they would turn the tide of battle and change the course of history. Best-selling author Lynne Cheney tells the dramatic story of the military campaign that began on Christmas night in 1776. When Washington Crossed the Delaware will teach the young about the heroism, persistence, and patriotism of those who came before them.

The captivating story of Hamilton and Madison fighting the odds to forge a nation's legacy Seven years after the revolution, America was in crisis. The government didn't work, but the citizens didn't care—or were in a state of rebellion. Then two unknown men, Hamilton and Madison (unknown especially compared to the revered Founding Fathers), envisioned a plan that no one else thought could happen: a truly United States. Against all odds, these men maneuvered and strategized to get the right men to agree on the right ideas. The result: the most brilliant political document ever, and a powerful United States. From New York Times bestselling author Charles Cerami, this gripping tale of young men founding a nation will captivate both history buffs and those who just love a great story. "Cerami spins a good historical tale." —Kirkus Reviews
