Abandoned as a young boy in the New World, Peter Francisco could have been forgotten by history.

Instead, he became one of its greatest heroes.

Growing tall and strong in colonial Virginia, Peter learned the value of hard work, courage, and determination. When the call for independence rang across the colonies, he answered. At just sixteen years old, he joined the 10th Virginia Regiment and marched into the fight for freedom.

During the Revolutionary War, Peter performed feats so astonishing they became legend — including carrying a massive cannon off the battlefield to keep it from falling into British hands. His strength was remarkable, but it was his bravery and loyalty that made him unforgettable.

After the war, Peter returned home not seeking fame, but knowledge — determined to continue growing in both mind and character.

Beautifully illustrated in a classic watercolor style and historic prints, Peter Francisco: Giant of the Revolution introduces young readers to a true American hero whose life reminds us that greatness is built on courage, perseverance, and faith.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and anyone celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
