Books like Molly Pitcher: Young Patriot

I'd like to re-read this. During the summer of 1976, the American Bicentennial, I read so many books about colonial life and the American Revolution. I was very interested in colonial women, including Molly Pitcher. She appealed to me as someone very independent, who had no problem with breaking gender roles, in the interest of serving her nation.Among the many statewide celebratory events, was an opportunity to paint fire hydrants as colonial figures, like Minutemen, "Lobster Backs" (British soldiers), George Washington, Ben Franklin, et al. I insisted to my crew of (eleven and twelve year old) neighborhood kids that we should paint our fire hydrant as Molly Pitcher. Sadly, the girls were outnumbered five to two, and we wound up doing a Minuteman. Still, it was great fun, and I have never forgotten it, decades later.
