The Revolutionary War By Bart McDowell The Revolutionary War by Bart McDowell The Revolutionary War gives an interesting and distinct account of the history and events of this great and pivotal time. The perspective is quite different than most history books. The author, Bart McDowell, gives the reader a lesson in the various battles and people, which make up the Revolutionary War through his family trips with his kids. He began a journey with his family, teaching his children all about the events of the Revolutionary War. They visited many of the sights of battles all over the East Coast, while reading actual accounts of the events to his children. McDowell personalizes the history lesson for the reader by adding comments his children made, or similarities in the weather when they visited to what the weather was on the actual day of the event. McDowell begins by giving some background from 1755. His family often crossed Braddock Road, named after Maj. Gen. Edward Braddock. This road was the route he had taken on his springtime journey in 1755. General Braddock was shot through the lungs on July 9, 1755 by the French and their Indian allies.
