A Little Maid Of Bunker Hill — Alice Turner Curtis

The first book of this series was A Little Maid of Province Town, which was the story of Anne Nelson, a little girl of Cape Cod. Her father had disappeared and some of his friends thought he had been drowned at sea. The fact was, however, that he had joined the American Army in Boston, and Anne, sailing there as a stowaway, was chosen to be the bearer of a very important message. In the story A Little Maid of Massachusetts Colony Anne runs away to Brewster, and is escorted by Indians to the home of her friends, the Freemans. Mr. Freeman takes her to Boston to see her father. On the way they are arrested as spies, but Anne escapes, makes her way to Boston, and helps in the capture of a British schooner. A Little Maid of Narragansett Bay is also a story of the Revolutionary war, and tells of Penelope Balfour and her brother Ted, who lived on a little farm in Rhode Island while their father was serving his country in the American Army. The courage and quickness of the little girl were of value to the American camp, which was near her home, and her brother's boat, Freedom, wins hearty praise for its share in carrying patriot messages. The present story deals with Millicent Austin, a little girl who lived at Charles Town near Bunker Hill in the days when General Gage and his British soldiers held the city of Boston.
