Cannons At Dawn: The Second Diary Of Abigail Jane Stewart, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, 1779 (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
While the first book in this series isn't bad, I loved its sequel so much more.Abby and her family are forced to follow the Continental Army after their home burns down in Valley Forge. It the mist of the chaos and confusion of the Revolutionary War Abby matures from a twelve year old girl to a married woman of 15. I loved that the story took place during all the major points of the war. We get to see Mary Washington, Benedict Arnold, the Wick farm, Williamsburg, Newburgh, and finally the end of the war at Yorktown. People from all walks of life including freed slaves are included here and it was interesting to see the battlefield from a woman's point of view. This book is a great read for anyone (old and young alike) who are interested in the Colonial period. Another of my favorites from the Dear America series! Abigail Jane Stewart returns in this, her second diary. This diary actually covers a span of over 2 1/2 years, from the time she was thirteen until the time she was fifteen. This time, Abigail is following the American Continental Army, for her father has become a soldier. She meets another soldier, a young man a few years older than her, and romance blossoms - but nothing about the romance is inappropriate. Abigail is an inspiring girl, who, after learning of sacrifice, also learns of loyalty, faithfulness, and love.
