Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill

The story of three of the early battles of the Revolution—Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill—that also contains lavish illustrations. 

This illustrated series on American History is a striking exception to the usual age group concept in publishing. Instead of bearing an "adult" or "juvenile" label, Adventures in History volumes are designed for any alert reader who wishes a clear and accurate introduction to the subject. Many are written by solid authors from the 1960s.

The approximately 150 page books contain a gallery of from-the-period pictures on the subject as good or better than most museum collections, and every volume is indexed and provides a list of suggested further reading. Most of them can be read online for free!
