Hey! I read this book called April Morning and its about boy of like 15 who gets involved in the battles…its like 24 hours, but realy interesting..and also Crane’s Red Badge Of Courage its also about a young boy of like 18-19…i had my revolutionary war phase too
There’s an old John Jakes series that was excellent, it was called The Kent Family Chronicles, that starts with Volume 1: The *******. It was written in 1973, to coincide with the American Bicentennial, and was a HUGE hit — it’s been in print ever since, and was recently reissued with new covers.
Also try A Catch of Consequence followed by Taking Liberties, by Diana Norman. Historical fiction set in New England, from a female perspective.
1776 by David McCoullough is fantastic. It only touches on Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill, but it discusses in great detail Knox’s expedition to Fort Ticonderoga.
It’s not a novel, but McCoullough’s writing style is so intense and captivating, it doesn’t really seem like a traditional history book either.
Are you asking for historical fiction or facts presented in a novel format?
