This book is about:
This book is about Ann Story and her family. Amos and
Solomon story, husband and son, went to Salisbury, Vermont,
to build a house and a woodshed. One day while Amos
was cutting down a tree, it pinned him to the ground
and killed him. Solomon went back to Connecticut to
bring the rest of the family back to Vermont. Ann was
a very brave woman. Even after the Indians burned her
cabin, she wanted to help the patriots and not see her
children killed. She helped the patriots with food,
shelter, and a place to keep their gun powder.
One day while Ann was cooking, two Green Mountain
Boys came and asked Ann if Soloman could join them in
the cause. Ann was scared but she said yes. All she
could do is watch and cry as her son walked down the
road. But she knew Solomon needed to join the patriots
and do what was right. Ann was a very unselfish person,
but it was hard for her to allow her son to join the
patriots.
Recommendation:
Yes, I would recommend this book to my friends. I like
reading about courageous people and it is all about
my home state.
