DAR Essay Pathfinder

When you are preparing to write your essay, you'll need to start with some research. Think about what some of your keywords might be: loyalist, patriot, spies, American Revolution. You'll use these when you look in indexes of books and when you do online searching.

I pulled three books for you:
If You Lived at the Time of the American Revolution by Kay Moore
Freedom: A History of Us by Joy Hakim
We Were There, Too! Young People in U.S. History by Phillip Hoose
