Fourth of July

This brand-new title in the "Let's Celebrate" series tells the story of America's Declaration of Independence and its signing by representatives of the 13 original colonies on the Fourth of July, 1776.

Full-colour illustrations capture: the atmosphere of eighteenth-century America; the meetings in Boston of the Sons of Liberty who protested British taxation: the meeting of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia; and, the call to battle and the birth of the Continental Army commanded by George Washington.
