♥   Sword of Liberty, Tale of Two Revolutions  by Frank Hutchins (1921)

♥   The Boys of ‘76, A History of the Battles of the Revolution  by Charles Coffin (1879)
In this volume, an attempt has been made to give a concise, plain and authentic narrative of the principal battles of the American Revolution as witnessed by those who took part in them. 
♥   The Old Bell of Independence  by Henry Watson (1852)
Stories of the chief men of the Revolution told in a conversational story-teller way.  
♥   $   ​The Spirit of 76  Ed. Henry Steele Commager
As told through the eyes of the participants. Not a narrative, but a great source of original documents from both side.
$   ​The War for Independence  by Albert Marrin
Marrin writes a highly-readable, interesting-holding overview of the Revolutionary War.
♥   The War for Independence  by John Fiske (1889)
Written for school-age students with a look at cause and effect. Good introductory book for the more mature student.
HISTORICAL FICTION
♦   $   ​​Drums of Monmouth by Emma Gelders Sterne
Story of a forgotten poet of the Revolution:  "To the lovers of liberty and the freemen of the United States, not my works only, but my life also, and all that I have and am--and God knows that's not much."
BIOGRAPHIES

♦   $   ​Benedict Arnold: Traitor to His Country  by Jeannette Nolan
Messner Biography
♦   $   ​Cast for a Revolution by Jean Fritz
Take a look at the friends and enemies of America in Revolutionary Days.
♥   John Paul Jones by John Abbott
"...was one of the purest patriots, and perhaps the most heroic naval hero, to whom any country has given birth.  He has been so traduced by the tory press of Great Britain, that even the Americans have not yet done him full justice.  This narrative of his astonishing achievements will, it is hoped, give him rank, in the opinion of every reader, with Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Lafayette."
