Patriots of African Descent in the Revolutionary War

March 29, 2011 - PRLog -- There were anywhere from 5,000 to 20,000 soldiers of African and Native American descent who served under General George Washington in the Continental Forces.

Fighting for a country under which they had no legal rights was not an easy road to travel. The stunning new picture book Patriots of African Descent in the Revolutionary War: Part 1 is fiction, as told by a family historian to his great-grandson about their family’s service as African-Americans during the Revolutionary War.

Readers ages 8 and older will be fascinated as they read about a nearly forgotten chapter in American history.

PATRIOTS OF AFRICAN DESCENT IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR: PART 1 (ISBN: 978-1-60976-517-0) is available on March 25, 2011 for $30 and can be ordered through the publisher’s website:
