About this book

Breakfast in Concord becomes a matter of urgency when news arrives that British troops are approaching. Martha Moulton is preparing a meal for elderly Uncle John while Joe Devins brings warnings and offers to hide her silver. Sarah J. Prichard makes the opening tale of this collection turn on household decisions, anxious conversation and the confusion outside the kitchen door. Martha's doubts and Joe's eagerness give the public alarm a personal scale.

The contents range across episodes of the American Revolution, with stories linked to Boston, Valley Forge and Independence Hall. A later passage follows David Bushnell's American Turtle, the support he secures for his experiments and the setback caused by his brother Ezra's illness. Prichard gathers the tales with the stated hope of strengthening patriotism in children.
