Title: Hey, Hessians aren't so bad after all . . .
Review: An important part of every American kid's education: Read a little about the War of Independence. You know, minutemen, Bunker Hill, George Washington, grit at Valley Forge, British surrenders at Saratoga Springs and Yorktown.But, don't expect to find it here. This is not about the courage of Americans who faced British, Hessians, Iroquis and loyalists. In this story, only one American is clearly devoted to victory against the British empire and its hirelings, and he's vicious. Other Americans? Kinda cowardly. And the Hessians? Not bad guys, really.A much better story for kids to learn about Hessians in the War of Independence:Woods Runnerby Gary Paulsen.
