Children of the Revolution is the story of the progeny of patriot Adam Mitchell, who fought during the American Revolution at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15, 1781. This pivotal battle culminated in his cornfields, which adjoined the one-acre site of the first Guilford County, North Carolina courthouse. The hundred-year odyssey of the Westward Sagas is not about war, but how it affected the Mitchell family.
Children of the Revolution: Book 3 in the Westward Sagas Series takes up where Adam’s Daughters: Book 2 left off—in Tennessee shortly after statehood. The series continues with the next generation of the Mitchell Family. Peggy, the protagonist in Adam’s Daughters, takes on a stronger role as she matures into a confident woman courted by British nobility. Children of the Revolution uncovers the untold reason North Carolina never ratified the U.S. Constitution. Adventure, intrigue, romance and tragedy are woven into the story of the first generation of Americans.

Well Worth Reading
Enjoyed these books immensely. The writing was so good, I felt like I was there. It really gave a good picture of how life was at that time in American history, even though these were historical fiction based on his family.
Really enjoyable and interesting read
I gobble up this series...first time I read any historical fiction but found it an easy and very interesting read. Really liked the fun factual details. While this is not pulitizer prize winning writing, this series is well worth the purchase. Very enjoyable!
Not necessary to read the first two books to enjoy this one
This is the third book in a trilogy. It would not be necessary to read the first two books to enjoy this one. All the books give a good description of life of early Americans. This book begins in TN but takes the story to England for much of the book. It is a quick read and good flow.
