A Timeline of the Continental Army (Timelines of American History)

Courage, defiance, and triumph make up the story of the Continental Army, a band of American colonists who challenged, fought, and defeated the mightiest empire in the world: Great Britain. Beginning with a series of losses in New York, New England, and Canada, the Continental Army began gathering momentum under General George Washington and had successes in the Middle-Atlantic and Southern states. The reader will be introduced to the key players of the Revolutionary War, from Washington to King George III, and be treated to a vivid retelling of one of our nation's greatest triumphs.
