Summary: Great book for a young history buff
Comment: I read this book to my 6 year old who is interested in the Revolutionary war. It was hard to find a book to tell about this period of time that was fitting for a 6 year old child. He was on the edge of his seat though most of the story and begged me to read "just one more page"
It is written in journal form so you learn about the people he meets and everything that happens first hand. At the end it tells you what happened to each person from the story...the part my son found most interesting.

Summary: A fairly good book.
Comment: In this story Will helps with the revolution by spying and assisting deserters from the British army etc. But I was more interested in the everyday life of running a tavern. I really liked Will's dog Queen George. I own a Newfoundland myself, and I know how rambunctious they can be. All in all it was a good story. A few things I noticed though: It says that Will's name is William Thomas Emerson, but people didn't usually have middle names till the 1800s. Also, after Will's friend Henry was beaten to death by British soldiers Will hardly seemed to care. He recorded Henry's funeral in a rather cool objective manner and hardly mentioned Henry after that. It doesn't seem right, which is why I gave the story four stars instead of five.
