Discuss Of Books Cannons at Dawn: The Second Diary of Abigail Jane Stewart, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, 1779 (Dear America)
11yo and I enjoyed this sequel. Both books helped frame our unit study on Revolutionary War. This isn't a part of the war I remember learning about -- the families that followed the soldiers from camp to camp. I appreciate this perspective of the war on the ground.

In this sequel to The Winter of Red Snow, Abigail Jane Stewart continues her diary in January 1779. Her father has recently joined the army and she is worried about him. Then her family's home burns down, and they have trouble finding a place to stay because most of their relatives moved away during the British occupation of Philadelphia. While her older sister remains in Philadelphia, Abby, her younger brother and sister, and their mother join the Continental Army as camp followers. Life



My favorite book ever I loved it so much I read it five times

I loved "The Winter of Red Snow" in middle school (and I actually reread it last year) so when I found out that a sequel had been released, I was so excited. I think this is the only sequel in the Dear America series. I enjoyed that they changed the setting in a believable manner to having her family be camp followers. It showed how fragile families were when their husbands/fathers left for the war and they had to fend for themselves. Everything could change in a minute. Also, I'm pretty sure

Really great follow-up to Winter of the Red Snow--which was one of my favorite Dear America books back in the day! In this one, Abby and her family camp along with the Continental Army through the last years of the Revolutionary War. There is some light romance, as the characters are getting older. Definitely geared toward the older readers of the series. This book tackled more than one issue of the time, and appeared to be extremely well-researched, as well as detailed. Slavery (including

This Dear America was a little more romantic than the previous ones I've read and a little too neatly wrapped up in the end I think. Considering the time period and the war going on and children and wives moving from camp to camp with sickness and hunger I expected more sadness and despair. I just found it hard to believe everyone was spared. I somehow didn't quite connect; but it was good.
