About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Young Folks' History of the American Revolution by Everett T. Tomlinson. Read in English by Gary Bohannon. This work has grown out of the desire frequently expressed to the writer when he has been lecturing on the American Revolution, that in some way the experiences of the people as well as the deeds of the armies in that trying period might be presented to the present generation. The author has given to the public this narrative, in which the course of the armies in the various campaigns is followed and, at the same time, many of the forgotten or ignored experiences and deeds of the common people are also incorporated. (Summary by the author).
