This reading selection would be a great addition to any history unit covering the Revolutionary War. Follow George Washington’s rise to fame as he commands the patriots through the War for Independence. Learn about what led to the turning point in morale for the colonies in the war, at the crossing of the Delaware. Filled with early life factoids of Washington’s life, maps of battle plans, and works of art. Also, great life lessons on how retreats can lead to victories and how to see the big picture rather than just the battle raging in the moment. The last few pages are dedicated to a timeline, further reading selections, internet fact sites, critical thinking questions, as well as a glossary and index. Within the readings are direct quotes taken from letters and journals of Washington. Pgs. 64 | pb ~Rebecca
