Where Was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May?

Where Was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May?

by Jean Fritz  •  Margot Tomes (Illustrator)

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 1997
  • PAPER
  • 48 PAGES
  • MIDDLE READERS (Age 9-12)

If only all colonial historians possessed Jean Fritz's flair for characterization, we'd probably think the Stamp Act was the most interesting thing ever. Fritz turns her hand to the life of the orator Patrick Henry, who grew up poor in Virginia and rose high enough to say "Give me liberty, or give me death." Ages 9-12.  (USA43, $6.99)
