Download or read book Ben s Revolution written by Nathaniel Philbrick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History comes alive in this gripping account of a young boy caught up in the start of the Revolutionary War. Based on an episode in National Book Award–winning author Nathaniel Philbrick’s New York Times bestseller Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution, this engrossing story allows readers to experience history from a child’s perspective, and Wendell Minor’s stunning paintings will transport readers back to the early days of the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Russell is in school on the morning of April 19th, 1775, when his teacher announces, “The war’s begun, and you may run!” Ben knew this day was coming; after all, tensions had been mounting between the colonists and the British troops ever since the Boston Tea Party. And now they have finally reached the breaking point. Ben and his friends excitedly rush out of their classroom to bear witness, and follow the throngs of redcoats marching out of Boston toward Concord. Much to Ben’s surprise, Boston is sealed off later that day—leaving the boys stuck outside the city, in the middle of a war, with no way to reach their families. But Ben isn’t worried—he’s eager to help the Patriots! He soon becomes a clerk to the jovial Israel Putnam, a general in the provincial army. For months he watches the militia grow into an organized army, and when the Battle of Bunker Hill erupts, Ben is awed by the bravery of the Patriots, although saddened by the toll war takes. He later goes on to become an apprentice at a Revolutionary newspaper, and it’s a happy day when they get to report on the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Praise for Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution “Philbrick guides us beautifully through Revolutionary Boston, with the Battle of Bunker Hill as his story’s grand climax.”—The New York Times Book Review “Masterly narrative . . . Philbrick tells the complex story superbly . . . gripping book.”—The Wall Street Journal “A masterpiece of narrative and perspective. . . . This is not only . . . the greatest American story.

PAUL REVERE AND ROGER SPREAD THE ALARM. Roger's heart almost stopped beating, as the conversation recorded above fell upon his ears. What was this the British officers were saying? They were going to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and place them under military arrest! The two greatest men, politically, the colonies at that time knew! It must never be! Young as he was, he realised the importance of such a capture, should it be executed. In all the movements of the patriots in and about Boston, Samuel Adams was, to use the expression framed at that time, " the power behind the throne." He was a foremost member of Congress in 1774, and he helped draw up the original draft of the State Constitution, and now hardly a movement was made but what he was directly or indirectly concerned in it. Of John Hancock no less could be said. Elected to the presidency of the Provincial Congress in 1774, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Samuel Adams, in company with Doctor Warren, afterwards General Warren, the martyr-hero of Bunker Hill, Josiah Quincy, Jr., the patriots' Cicero, William Cooper, the fearless Boston town clerk, and a score of men equally feared by the Crown. In addition to being an active patriot, Hancock was one of the wealthiest landowners and business men of Boston, and his influence caused many a merchant to become a Whig, who might otherwise have turned Tory. "It must not be," thought the boy. "I must tell Captain Parker, -- everybody. Somebody must know where Mr. Adams and Mr. Hancock are stopping to-night, and warn them to seek a place of safety. And the militia and minute men must be on guard, too, against the troops General Gage is going to send from Boston. That surprise must not be all on one side!" With bated...
