Book Description
An experienced veteran with a reputation for being cool under fire, John Stark was chosen to lead troops from New Hampshire when the American Revolution began in April 1775. Stark's men played an important role in the Battle of Bunker Hill, but his most important moment came in 1777, when an invading British army threatened cut off New England from the rest of the colonies. Stark's victory at the Battle of Bennington in 1777 dealt a fatal blow to the British army, which was forced to surrender at Saratoga two months later in one of the most important American victories of the war. Stark would later express his reasons for fighting in an 1809 letter to the men who fought with him at Bennington: "Live free or die! Death is not the worst of evils."
About The Author
Karl Lewis Crannell was born December 16, 1953, in Glens Falls, New York. His lifelong affinity with history began at birth when his parents paid the hospital bill with funds from the sale of an 18th-century bear trap which his father found in the woods. At age nine, he painted a large eye on his snow saucer to make a Greek shield. He is currently leading a group of volunteers in constructing a faithful reproduction of a Revolutionary War period soldiers' hut at Fort Ticonderoga.
Crannell majored in music performance at the Crane School of Music, and literature at SUNY Potsdam, from which he graduated in 1978. He is employed at Fort Ticonderoga as Public Programs Coordinator, and conducts educational outreach programs as "Sgt. Crannell of the 4th Pennsylvania Regt." He lives at the edge of the Carillon battlefield with his wife, Amy, and their feral Manx cat, Nubbin.
Reader Reviews
This was a great book for a 3rd Grader. The book is written for elementary school kids. I thought I was buying a real biography.
