Mary Geddy's Day: A Colonial Girl in Williamsburg

(4) 1-3 Photographs by Russ Kendall. Color photos and first-person narration tell about a ten-year-old girl living in Williamsburg, Virginia, on the day the colony votes for independence from England. While story and characters are not well developed, readers will glean much information about everyday life for one child in 1776. Photos of food preparation and of Mary getting ready for the day are particularly informative.
