A fictionalized and illustrated biography for young readers

about the female patriot Martha Bratton, the heroine of Brattonsville for young readers.

When her husband rides off to join a militia and fight for independence, Martha and her children—four daughters and a rambunctious six-year-old boy—try to hold their lives together. Between blowing up a secret cache

of gunpowder before Tories can confiscate it to blowing off a

rattlesnake’s head, Martha Bratton stands tall as battles wage around

her during the summer of 1780.
