Naturally, the fall of this mare was equally great, even to the glue factory; and still more remarkable was the transformation which took place slowly but surely after Sam Adams talked her out of the glue cart into the home of Paul Revere. Thus Sherry became the horse of a patriot, and soon knew all about the Revere family, the trade of the silversmith, and the doings of the Sons of Liberty."With many fine drawings that are as vivid and full of fun as the story, this is altogether an original presentation of some great moments in our history."--The Horn Book"Try this for reading aloud, as a first rate family book.--The Kirkus Reviews"The make-up is excellent, illustrations are wonderful, and the reader will get a very interesting picture of the American Revolution. Recommended."--Library Journal"Splendid story of the American Revolution....The illustrations are as beautiful, finely detailed, drawn with knowledge and love. In every way this is a worthy successor to the author's well-loved Ben and Me."--The New York Times"Perhaps one of the season's most distinguished and delightful books, the illustrations are especially fine."--Christian Science Monitor"This is certainly Robert Lawson's finest story."--Chicago Sunday Tribune
