The Pewter Plate


Florence Parker Simister - 1957
    This was in Providence, Rhode Island, during the Revolutionary War. Hannah didn't realize then how selfish she was, not to give up her own plate to the cause, but she did when her brother was wounded. As time passed, she learned how much of a struggle it was to fight for freedom. There was hard work for the little girl, but excitement, soldiers, spies and even her plate saved a life!"
