Black contributions to the American Revolution

Crispus Attucks is one familiar name connected to Black participation in the American Revolution, but Burke Davis’s book broadens the focus to lesser-known men and women. Its biographical sketches include Edward Hector, a wagoner at Brandywine; Austin Dabney, an artilleryman who was enslaved; and William Lee, George Washington’s aide and companion during the war. A bibliography and index accompany the accounts, providing reference points for further exploration of the people introduced.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 9–12 interested in biographies and the American Revolution.
  • Young readers seeking accounts of Black individuals’ roles in U.S. independence.
  • Readers using a book with a bibliography and index for historical study.
