    PETER FRANCISCO - VIRGINIA GIANT
    by Janet Shaffer
    The Virginia Giant, a one-man army! Peter Francisco was believed to have had almost super-human strength. According to legend, George
    Washington
    said, "Without him we would have lost two crucial battles, perhaps the war, and with it our freedom." Francisco, a Portuguese
    immigrant, was raised
    outside Richmond and after hearing Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech, he joined the Virginia
    Colonial Militia. He was
    known for his battle-hardened skills, and his bravery at Brandywine, Stony Point, Camden and Guilford Courthouse led to
    stories of epic portions.
    Read and separate fact from myth on topics ranging from pirates to redcoats to
    exciting acts of valor in this
    remarkable story of a true American hero.
    Hardcover, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 124 pages, illustrated, dust jacket
