Fox of Bunker Hill

Fox of Bunker Hill

Books about the American Revolution, reviewed and recommended by Willa — Librarian, Elisha Winn Society, Children of the American Revolution.

I'm named after my patriot. Benjamin Fox Baxter was eighteen years old, a private from New Hampshire, and he got stabbed in the side with a bayonet at Bunker Hill. Eighteen. That's barely older than the kids in my Society. So this is my site for the books that tell you what really happened, sorted by how old you are, with a rating out of thirteen stars — one for every colony.
