Summary: Winter of Red Snow
Comment: I found this book pretty exciting and captivating. The way Kristiana Gregory described the vivid weather and actions of the people was so real. You felt the cold, smelled the wonderful thanksgiving dinner,and saw the horrible sight of the poor soldiers. Let me start from the beginning, Abigail Jane Stewart is an American girl back in the days of the Revolutionary War. The army soldiers set up a camp near her house and her family provide supplies. She meets interesting people such as General George Washington himself. She has tons to worry about such as her little baby brother, the war, and the loved ones around her. Get this book to find out how she handles her obstacles in her cold, wintery, 1777 life.

Summary: A young girl observes the events at Valley Forge in 1777-78.
Comment: Abigail Jane Stewart, called Abby by her family and friends, is the narrator of this fictional diary. She is only eleven when the American army makes camp near her home in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in December of 1777. She and her older sister, Elisabeth, and younger sister, Sally, are worried about their mother and newborn brother, but they try to help the army in whatever way they can. Abby, her mother, and sisters do laundry for General Washington, and Abby and Elisabeth sew for the soldiers and visit the encampment with Mrs. Washington to help with the sick soldiers. In viewing the horror of war firsthand, Abby matures from a child who views war as an adventure to a girl who, in spite of her young age, understands the sacrifices the soldiers are making to fight for freedom. This was one of the first Dear America books I read, and I still remember how very much I enjoyed it. It started me out on my way to loving this series.

Summary: my first dear america book
Comment: I enjoyed this book. It was a diary of young Abby, whose family lived near Vally Forge during revolutionary war. Although fiction, its stories were based in fact. This is for younger readers, but parts of it are somewhat graphic. Primative surgury and such. But it is a entertaining way to learn some history. This author (Gregory) has written other good books. My favorite is Jenny of The Tetons.
After reading Red Snow, I will make a point to read other Dear AMerica books. Holla!
