It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King’s men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough’s \u003cem\u003e1776\u003c\/em\u003e is another landmark in the literature of American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense nonfiction subject matter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storyglory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47892823474498,"sku":"FMCCULDA____1776________________9780743226721","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3457\/4658\/products\/1776.jpg?v=1709056530"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3457\/4658\/collections\/Blue_collection_square_01052db4-e388-4d3b-bd6c-6df328bf4ba2.jpg?v=1778521749","url":"https:\/\/www.storyglorykids.org\/collections\/class-9-summer-reading-at-the-wilberforce-school.oembed","provider":"Storyglory Kids Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
