There’ll never be a better time to share the story of Young America than as we celebrate her 250th birthday! The three books of my Young America series tell that story through the eyes of three young men who were there.
If you live in the vicinity of Colorado Springs, you might even get to celebrate with us as we show off the books in local venues!
A friend of Caryl and myself who was a middle school teacher recently posted this on her website:
“In this summer of celebrating 250 years of this nation, enjoy a series that will bring that crucial revolution vividly to life for anyone age10 to 100+. If you enjoy history and have some young people in your life, I’d like to recommend a series of books by Gordon Saunders that I think everyone would benefit from reading, especially in this 250th year of the nation. I read them when I needed to teach about the Revolutionary War years in teaching Middle School history. Nothing boring emerges in these well-researched books with young teens as the main characters. The books give accurate, dangerous, and thrilling accounts of the tumultuous time of revolution. I read each of the books in the series because I was going to teach using them, but I ended up enjoying and learning from them as much as my students. Nothing is boring in well-told accounts of people, battles, and efforts of the Revolutionary War years. Great tales with captivating characters help anyone to learn about and appreciate history, land, languages, and cultures.”
If you’d like to hear a short story that is the prequel to A Drummer in Red, you can get it free through this website by signing up for my infrequent emails (see the Home Page). You can also get an eEdition there as well as a short story from the Verduran Pentology in either eEdition or audiobook form. You can order the books from the vendor of your choice via my ‘Buy Books‘ page.
