Revolutionary Anna

Based on a true story of the American Revolution.



After supper one winter night in 1825, Anna and Benjamin Stone's grandchildren gathered around their rocking chairs.



Hannah asked, "Grandma, will you tell us a story from when you and Grandpa were young?"



Benjamin chuckled as he folded his newspaper. "Yes, Anna, tell them about the time you saved General Washington's job and made sure we won the American Revolution!"



Hannah's eyes got as big as saucers. "Grandma, did you meet George Washington? How did you save his job? Did we really almost lose the Revolution?"



Anna's eyes twinkled in the firelight. "It's been nearly fifty years since the first days of the Revolution, and I remember everything as though it was just yesterday."
