Volume II Issue 9 of PastTimes

Line
Volume 2 issue 9

This issue is full of the little-known stories that make our history so interesting.

Benjamin Franklin meets with a spy from France at a secret location; a young colonel named George Washington leads British troops to victory; and the first woman to attend medical school writes of her difficult experience in 1847.

You will also find out about a path to freedom that is lit by a gourd in the sky; the hunt for an animal that means life for one tribe; and Addy Vice returns with some helpful advice on being a loyalist in a family of rebels.

Plus, talk like a Great War soldier with some “new” vocabulary from the front lines.
