About this ebook
James Monroe sat on the river bank. He had his knees pulled up close. His arms were held tight against his chest to try and keep the cold out.
The rain came down in drizzles, but the night kept getting colder.
It wasn't just the cold that was a problem. Eighteen year old James was tired and hungry. All the men around him were the same.
They had been fighting for several days. They were fighting for America to become her own country. And they were losing!
