About this ebook

What kind of impact does a battle and siege from more than 200 years ago have on the world today? Yorktown held the key to the end of the American Revolution and allowed America to become not only a sovereign nation, but also set the stage for it to become a world power, worth keeping an eye on. 

Inside you will read about...

✓ The Road to Yorktown

✓ Opening Moves

✓ The Troops in Motion

✓ The Battle at Sea

✓ The Calm Before the Storm

✓ The Siege Commences

✓ The Fall

When Washington moved against Cornwallis, the entire world held its breath. And when surrender was offered – first to the French – things could have ended very differently. One city. One long siege in the fall of the year – would change everything.

Ratings and reviews

A good reminder of US history! Wish I'd had this "100" yrs ago when I was in school &/or studying for SAT or ACT exams! Probably useful for GED, too! For me it was just a review of a part of our history, told in an easily read & understood manner (There were 2-3 typos I noticed, "the" instead of "they", but it didn't detract from the message. ) Mr. Freeman has several other of these historical books that are on my list to read! That's how much I enjoyed this quick review! If you're like me & enjoyed history as well as reading fiction, or if you're currently studying it & need quick review, or if you're just curious about US Revolutionary War, take (probably) an hour or so & review! (Admittedly, it took me about 3 hrs, but I had to re-read some due to interruptions... definitely not Mr Freeman's fault!) &, for those wondering about this review. NO, I didn't receive anything for it (but I'll happily take grocery store Qs for my favorite coffees, lol)!

Very well written.
