Hats off! A Homespun Tribute

Girls, boys, grandparents, mums and dads all had a role to play in the American Revolution.

Indians and British Soldiers  

Did You Know?
The Delaware warrior Shingas initially wanted to fight with the British. He asked British Gen. Braddock if the Indians could live on the land after the French were defeated. Braddock said no Indians will own the land. Shingas got so angry he went to fight with the French.
