On My Own History series.
Illustrated by
Craig Orback.
During the American Revolution, James Forten, a free black teenager, was a powder boy on the Royal Louis until the British captured his ship. Though vague on details, this historical account (with invented dialogue) is simple enough for early readers to tackle independently. The author's note and afterword provide essential context. The realistic illustrations give life to Forten's tale. Bib.
