Daughters of the Revolution and Their Times 1769 - 1776 A Historical Romance

"Daughters of the Revolution and Their Times" by Charles Carleton Coffin is a historical romance that shines a light on the unsung efforts of women during the American Revolution, and it tells how these pioneering women affected the pursuit of independence. Woven with historical fact and creative storytelling, the story opens with Robert Walden, a young man from Rumford, New Hampshire, as he gets ready to bring cheeses to market in Boston. This paints a picture of daily life for a colonial farmer's son, while also setting the stage for his meetings with important people like Samuel Adams and Doctor Joseph Warren. Robert soon finds himself pulled into the growing political issues of the time, especially after seeing how rude British soldiers act. The story suggests major themes, like social change, loyalty, and the sacrifices made by people of all genders at a pivotal moment in the war.
