In One April in Boston you’ll experience Paul Revere’s Ride and the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Shortly after the Declaration of Independence is read in Boston on July 18, 1776, the story transports readers into the future with fascinating connections to the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, and World War I. The tale honors Ben’s relative Philip Edwards by revealing the gift he gave to the neighborhood children before leaving for France to fight in World War I and passing into legend.
