Book excerpt: Peter Francisco was said to be the most famous private soldier in the Continental Army. Commander George Washington claimed he couldn't have won the war without him. Yet today, few Americans have heard of this remarkable soldier. A finely dressed little boy named Peter who spoke no English was abandoned on a Virginia wharf, where the Appomattox and the James rivers meet, near a town now called Hopewell. Where had he come from? Why was he abandoned? Peter Francisco's is a model American story. Cast ashore with nothing, literally, but the clothes upon his back he learned a trade as a blacksmith, found a calling in the army and managed to acquire an education. By sixteen, Peter had grown to be six and a half feet tall, a foot taller than the average man of his day. More remarkable than his height was his great strength. He was known as an American Hercules, the Virginia Giant, and a One-Man Army. At Valley Forge, Peter served with George Washington, who commissioned a huge sword to be made just for him. Peter's exploits were of such renown that a print of an engraving, One Against Nine, illustrating his 1781 action against Tarleton's Raiders, was hung in a place of honor in many parlors after the Revolution. He married well and went on to live a long and successful life, which included six fine children. When Peter Francisco died in 1831, he was given a State funeral with full military honors. The officiating minister took note of Peter's strength ..".Superior to that of any man in [his] time...exerted in defense of the country which [he called home.]" Peter never remembered where he had come from, but 200 years after he was born, in 1960 his birth certificate was found in the Portuguese Azores. Written for middle-schoolers and others, this story is a work of fiction based on facts that will give an overview of the American War for Independence told through the exciting exploits of Peter Francisco.

This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virginia Giant, a one-man army! Peter Francisco was believed to have had almost super-human strength. According to legend, George Washington said, "Without him we would have lost two crucial battles, perhaps the war, and with it our freedom." Francisco, a Portuguese immigrant, was raised outside Richmond and after hearing Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech, he joined the Virginia Colonial Militia. He was known for his battle-hardened skills, and his bravery at Brandywine, Stony Point, Camden and Guilford Courthouse led to stories of epic portions. Join authors Bobby and Sherry Norfolk as they separate fact from myth on topics ranging from pirates to redcoats to exciting acts of valor in this remarkable story of a true American hero.

Driven with passion for freedom he joined the Continental Army after hearing Patrick Henry's famous words, -Give me liberty or give me death - His owner, Judge Winston, releases him from slavery to fight for freedom, and he becomes famous throughout the colonies for his extraordinary strength, bravery, and courage on the battlefield.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase "American Revolutionary War Hero" usually brings to mind George Washington, John Paul Jones and other famous officers. Heroes, however, existed throughout the ranks during the Revolution, and many made their marks without ever receiving proper recognition. These portraits of 28 Virginia Revolutionary soldiers expand the historical record of those who can be called a "hero." Whether as infantryman, cavalryman, marine, militiaman, spy, frontier fighter or staffer, all performed with distinction that contributed to victory. A strongman who performed superhuman feats during battle; a woman who fought as a soldier; a militiaman who sounded a fateful alarm--some gave their lives, others were terribly wounded, but all demonstrated heroism beyond the call of duty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the American Battlefield Trust, an unparalleled collection of their popular battle maps of the Revolutionary War. “Wow! I just love those maps that you guys send to me.” It is a phrase that the staff of the American Battlefield Trust hears on a weekly basis and the expression refers to one of the cornerstone initiatives of the organization, mapping the battlefields of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and the American Civil War. The American Battlefield Trust is the premier battlefield preservation organization in the United States. Over the last thirty years the American Battlefield Trust and its members have preserved more than 54,000 acres of battlefield land across 145 battlefields, in twenty-four states—at sites such as Lexington & Concord, Brandywine, Yorktown, Shiloh, and Gettysburg. Other than physically walking across the hallowed battle grounds that the American Battlefield Trust has saved, the best way to illustrate the importance of the properties that we have preserved is through our battle maps. Through the decades, the American Battlefield Trust has created hundreds of maps detailing the action at major battles. Now, for the first time in book form, we have collected the maps of some of the most iconic battles of the Revolutionary War. In Vol. 3 of our Battle Maps of the American Battlefield Trust series, you can follow the course of the war from Lexington & Concord to the British surrender at Yorktown. Study the major actions of the Revolutionary War from start to finish utilizing this unparalleled collection of maps.
