Peter's War by Joyce Lee Malcolm
A boy named Peter, born to a slave in Massachusetts in 1763, was sold nineteen months later to a childless white couple there. This book recounts the history of how the American Revolution came to Peter's small town, and how he participated in the battles of Bunker Hill and Yorktown and witnessed the surrender at Saratoga.
"'In clear, engaging language, Malcolm reconstructs the surroundings, relationships and political atmosphere of the Revolution.. Malcolm seamlessly captures the intersection of personal, political and military strategy. History buffs will revel in Peter's never-before-told story, which makes a vivid addition to Revolutionary War literature.' Kirkus Reviews"
