While patriot troops were discouraged and were on the losing end of many battles, this battle changed the course of the war. Read through firsthand accounts from letters and journal entries, view battle maps, and even read through a secret encoded message. The last few pages are dedicated to further reading selections, internet fact sites, critical thinking questions, as well as a glossary and index. Pgs. 64 | pb ~Rebecca
