 INSERT COMMENTS OF THIS BOOK HERE!!!!
"This book rocks"-Christian I made this by the way. "Some of the details of this book are highly sophisticated. It has great description and gives me a general idea of the war going on back then." -KoreanReporter "Really good" "The book has minor explicit language, but overall it's a great book." -Dana :) "I think it is great but it would be better if we didnt do worksheets" Cullen :p "A great show of how the war can tear apart a family" --Ciara :D "A cruel way to show how a war can do so much damage" -"Frankly, it's not a 'cruel way' to show how wars can do damage. This most likely happened to families during the Revolution, and it's mostly nonfiction." "Its ok as far as war books go." ~Kenzie♥ " It is not the world's greatest book but it isn't terrible! I would probably give it 3 stars out of 5." -Steph S. C= Here is the URL for my upcoming project: http://brothersamstopmotionproject.wikispaces.com/

I looked up "Revolutionary War" on Google and this came up. It's a picture of the American soldiers marching. -Dana :) [|homepage.mac.com/.../ RevolutionaryWar/index.html]

I found this really cool game about the Reveloutionary War. It's called The Road to Revolution. The game asks you multiple trivia questions. If you get one wrong, you keep trying at the question until you get it correct. We haven't really gotten too far in the Revolutionary War yet, but you should be able to answer the first couple of questions. Hope you like the game!

John Hancock is signing in the picture, who was the first person to sign. http://www.thisnation.com/media/photos/signingdec.jpg

<span style="color: rgb(255,0,223); background-color: rgb(0,255,242);">This is the flag from around the Revolutionary War time. You can count the stars, and there are thirteen. (I counted myself.) -Dana :) http://www.american-history-guide.com/american-history-timeline-18thcent-e.html
 * Here is a picture of General Israel Putnam, who was one of the many leading the Patriots. He is the man who went into the wolf den to kill the wolf. You can still see the wolf den today, as well as his statue, which are both in Putnam. Coincidence, huh? -Dana :) Link: http://www.sonofthesouth.net/revolutionary-war/general/israel-putnam.jpg**
