Revolutionary War On Wednesday (2010)
“The wind whooshed over the cold water. Wet snowflakes hissed in the dark.
But then Jack heard other sounds. He heard voices, lots of voices.
He and Annie soon came upon hundreds and hundreds of soldiers gathered near the dark river.
Many carried oil lanterns. The lanterns gave an eerie glow to the snowy twilight.
“The captain and his men must be here somewhere,” said Jack, looking around.
Boats like giant canoes were tied near the river. Men were leading horses and loading cannons onto the boat...s.
“What are they all doing?” said Annie.
Jack pulled out their Revolutionary War book. He read in a whisper: On Wednesday, December 25, 1776— “December 25? That’s Christmas!” said Annie. “Today’s Christmas!”
“Cool,” said Jack. He started reading again: On Wednesday, December 25, 1776, the patriots were losing the war. Ragged and weary, many were ready to give up. Then something began to happen that would turn the war around. About 2,400 American patriots gathered on the west bank of the Delaware River in Pennsylvania.MoreLess
