Private Yankee Doodle

The written biograph is a great account of the young American militiaman
would provide knowledge for someone wanting to know what was it like serving in the American Revolution. Good stuff!

This book is quite fascinating as it is a firsthand account of a Private in the Revolutionary War. He has a phenomenal memory since he recorded these events later in his life, not while they were happening. Being it is a book about war - I found some parts hard to read and very brutal, though I know that is the nature of the beast.Reading this account did bring me a great appreciation for those who suffered greatly but stood fast and procured our freedoms. I am the beneficiary and I am very thankful. I purchased this book for my children and grandchildren in hopes it would bring a deeper appreciation and awareness of the many gifts we receive from courageous and unselfish acts of others. I reccomend it to Adults, who then need to decide what to share with Younger Readers.
