Every year on the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate the birth of the nation and the heroes who brought it about. But many popular stories about the American Revolution have gotten some facts wrong and left out others altogether. This book dives into the myths about the war fought between the patriots and the redcoats and brings the truth to light. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index.
