  About the We Were There Books
  “We Were There books are easy to read and provide exciting, entertaining stories, based upon true historic events. Each story is checked for factual accuracy by an outstanding authority on this particular phase of our history. Though written simply enough for young readers, they make interesting reading for boys and girls well into their teens.” - from the dust jacket
  
  Each book in the series is a fictional retelling of an historical event, featuring one or more tween children as primary characters. Although children most likely would not have been present or able to participate in the action like these characters do, it makes for great story-telling and enables the reader to see history develop right along with the character. The narrative flows like an action adventure tale; it is pretty gripping, with cliffhangers at the end of most chapters.
  
  I highly recommend these books!

  Another fun We Were There book. Zeke has been studying this time period in history and is reading this for a school “free read”. It is set in the years around the Battles of Lexington and Concord. We had read briefly in This Country of Ours about the Green Mountain Boys taking Fort Ticonderoga but this gives a lot more background and information about the Green Mountain Boys. Like all We Were There books it is well written and easy to read. I did notice that this one had a few direct quotes that might be a bit hard for younger readers to understand but I really liked that they were included.

  MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! I AM DYING TO FIND A COPY!
  
  I read every single one of these as a child, time and time again; as an adult I have sought them out as treasured mementoes of my childhood. These books, the adventures and places they took me and the history I learned from them; they WERE my childhood!
  
  They can be hard to find, but THANK GOD publishers are beginning to re-publish many editions from the series and believe you me I am buying them in book form AND on my Kindle.
  
  If you have children or nieces and nephews, BY every book in this series and give the gift of adventure, education and appreciation of literature!
