**NEW** A Chicken Was There Too: Tales of the Colonial Chickens Who Were There at the Birth of America As Benjamin Franklin launched his kite into the lightning-streaked, rumbling skies of Philadelphia, a chicken was there. When Paul Revere rode out into the cloudless night to warn the patriots that an army marched at their doorsteps, a chicken was there. As a woman knelt on the cold, hard floor of a Baltimore brewery, stitching together the flag that would inspire a nation, a chicken was there. Now, for the first time ever, the chickens who witnessed the birth of a nation will tell their stories. Part historical fiction, part humorous observation, the sharp wit and heartwarming innocence of the hens and roosters who were there give their unbiased accounts of life in colonial America. Over the course of twenty-five short stories, these eyewitnesses to history will show you a side of early America never before told and not easily forgotten. From the Mayflower to Mount Vernon, from Valley Forge to the Boston Tea Party, a chicken was there. MSRP $14
