Up with ye, me brave buccaneer, said Barney, giving him a poke in the ribs with an oar he had in his hand. If you want to make your escape from that Dutchman, ye'd better be stirring yer stumps. It's sunup and me gallant ship sails in a few minutes. Thus begins the adventure of young Jonathan Ogden as he is forced to flee the rough treatment to which he is subjected on a Pennsylvania farm where he was bound out following the untimely death of his parents. To make matters worse, he must leave behind his dear twin sister, Phoebe, who has been taken in by a Quaker family. His mind filled with stories of George Washington and the Revolution, told to him by his grandfather on winter evenings in the kitchen of his old home, Jonathan sets sail with his new friend and unlikely benefactor, Patrick Ambrose Barney. He soon finds himself in the path of the seemingly invincible sea-power of Great Britain, somehow ending up in a heroic battle on Old Ironsides. However, the greatest battle will be fought in the lessons Jonathan learns about loyalty, patriotism and friendship in early America. Join Jonathan and Phoebe on a nautical adventure in The American Twins of 1812, by Lucy Fitch Perkins and experience history through the eyes of a brother and sister in one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.

Über den Autor
Before Lucy Fitch Perking would publish a story, she would firstread it to a group of children she knew, to see what they would sayabout the story. This group included her son Lawrence, his cousinsand playmates.The first story they listened to was The Dutch Twins. Since thechildren in the select group liked it, she published the book, and soondiscovered that many more children loved her story. As a result shewrote even more Twins books, which more than two million copieswere sold around the world.These books have since gone out of print. However, the storiesshe told are still relevant today, and it would truly be a tragedy for thechildren of today to miss these wonderful stories.Bluewater Publications is proud to republish her stories, which webelieve will truly enrich the lives and educations of out children.
