coming of age in the American Revolution: lessons in children's resilience
Emmy Werner, an eminent American development psychologist, wrote a wonderful book a couple of years ago, titled In Pursuit of History: Coming of Age in the American Revolution, which captures the challenging and courageous lives of children in a time of war and social transformation--largely in their own words! For anyone specifically seeking a new way to engage students in the revolutionary time in American history or generally seeking historical evidence of children's resiliency in difficult times, Emerita Professor Werner's book is highly recommended.
