This story is about a man named Haym Salomon.  He helped George Washington win the war against the British troops.   Haym traveled a lot and knew many languages.  He used his abilities to help the American troops win independence.  He joined a group called Sons of Liberty and helped raise money to help the soldiers that needed food, uniforms and boots.  Haym was an American patriot who loved and protected his country.  He got sick and died January 6, 1785.

I liked this book because it was about war.  It showed how the soldiers lived and how they suffered.  I didn’t know about Haym.  It was nice to read about what he did for the soldiers.  I also like the colorful pictures in “Haym Salomon: American Patriot.”
