Part historical fiction, part humorous observation, the sharp wit and heartwarming innocence of the hens and roosters who were there give their unbiased accounts of life in colonial America. Over the course of twenty-five short stories, these eyewitnesses to history will show you a side of early America never before told and not easily forgotten.
