This is a great companion the the fiction book Revolutionary War on Wednesday by the same author. This is at a reading level I feel comfortable that all my students could read independently. Possibly used to tie in Literacy with the social studies study.

The theme of this book is war, culture, and history. Show Less

Also, this book includes the other riders that were with Paul Revere and that they were able to continue their ride and warn the colonists as Paul Revere was held prisoner by the Brits.
By the time I finished I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend this book for students.
