In the summer of 1776, Joseph Plumb Martin was a fifteen-year-old Connecticut farm boy who considered himself as warm a patriot as the best of them. He enlisted that July and stayed in the revolutionary army until hostilities ended in 1783. Martin fought under Washington, Lafayette, and Steuben. He took part in major battles in New York, Monmouth, and Yorktown. He wintered at Valley Forge and then at Morristown, considered even more severe. He wrote of his war years in a memoir that brings the American Revolution alive with telling details, drama, and a country boy's humor. Jim Murphy lets Joseph Plumb Martin speak for himself throughout the text, weaving in historical backfround details wherever necessary, giving voice to a teenager who was an eyewitness to the fight that set America free from the British Empire.

The British have invaded Charlestown and the Revolutionary War has descended with a vengeance upon the sleepy southern frontier. Oppression, violence, and fear overwhelm the villages and homesteads of North and South Carolina. Thirteen-year-old William Hamilton is violently drawn into the war by forces seemingly beyond his control. He is racked with guilt after he is forced to take part in a battle at a frontier cabin. He vows that he will never take up arms against another human being. But as the war rages around him and the British declare a personal war upon his family, William must decide whether he will honor his vow or stand up to the enemy. Little Hornet is the emotional, triumphant story of a brave American boy fighting for his country, home, and freedom ... and for his big brothers.
