Following the battles of Lexington and Concord, Congress unanimously elects George Washington commander in chief of the American armed forces, and he is sent to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to transform the ragtag collection of volunteer militiamen into America's first army. The war has so far been little more than a series of intermittent skirmishes, but Washington is in constant fear of attack--until he takes the offensive with results that surprise everyone, the British most of all. 505 00 $t Spring 1776. $t Fall 1775 -- $t Winter 1775-1776 -- $t Spring 1776. 600 10 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Boston (Mass.) $x History $y Siege, 1775-1776 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $v Juvenile fiction. 651 1 $a United States $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Boston (Mass.) $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Novels in verse. 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Historical / Military & Wars. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Historical / United States / Colonial & Revolutionary Periods. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Stories in Verse. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00178100 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Boston. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205012 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1775-1783 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 $a Novels in verse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921724 655 7 $a Novels in verse. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57EE937A079911EB91AE0FFD35ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
