Thomas J. McGuire author of Battle of Paoli
In his graceful and personable portrayal of Ned Hector, Noah Lewis brings to life a too-often forgotten part of the fight for American Independence: the African-Americans who served with Washington's army. A complex and difficult facet of the Revolution were those black Americans, slave and free, who fought for personal liberties for all, and Noah's unique, 1st-person depiction of Ned Hector helps to bridge the gap for young people of all ages. His research and continuing efforts to educate the public through speaking and writing are an admirable and much-needed contribution to the story of the American struggle for freedom!

Lorene Cary author of Price of a Child
"When my daughter and I lay in bed reading this book, Ned
Hector’s openness, energy and confidence carried us with
him into his world. We Americans—parents and children—who
look so brazenly toward the future are comforted by
someone with this passion for entering into history."
