20 Titles About Colonial America & the Revolutionary War

While Top Ten Tuesday is taking a break, I decided to create a different book list for today. Today, on Independence Day, I’m sharing 20 titles about Colonial America and the Revolutionary War. These titles share a wide range of experiences from different groups of people who lived through this time period. Most of the titles included in this list are historical fiction, which means most are based on fact but are created stories with fictional characters. I’ve added a few titles that are nonfiction to give some context to the time period.
