The true story of Molly Hays who joined her husband in General Washington’s army during the American Revolution. At the battle of Monmouth, Molly risked her life to bring water to the fighting men.

An unlikely heroine but a pretty gutsy girl. More detailed account but still a picture book. Because of her courage and bravery she was promoted to the rank of sergeant. The author's note at the back adds some interesting background for this feisty, independent lady who really did fight with her husband during the Battle of Monmouth in the Revolutionary War. Way to go Molly!!!

Great heroic tale of Molly Pitcher (Hays), who took up her husband's cannon at the Battle of Monmouth and was commissioned as a sergeant by General Washington. She apparently insisted that everyone call her "Sergeant Molly" the rest of her life.
Not a fan of the illustrations -- they're kind of fuzzy and gloomy -- but the story's great.

Impressive children's biography about Molly Pitcher (Molly Hays). I knew little about her life, so this was all new to me. Fascinating.
