Book Reviews of Bushnell's Submarine

Book Review: My Daughter Loved thbis book!
Summary: 5 Stars

My Daughter, is a budding 11 year old, and is quite addicted to mystgeries, Harry potter, etc. This book is a little outside of her interest, but sje loved it. She finished it in no time flat, and even brought it to her history teacher, who thoght it was quite good. My daughter was fascinated by Bushnell, who grew up on a connecticut farm, and became the pioneer of submarine technology!

Highly recommend this book!!

Summary of Bushnell's Submarine

This is the true story of how Yankee tinkerer, David Bushnell, built the world's first submarine in an attempt to sink the flagship of the British fleet--the HMS Eagle!

This is both the story of how the world's first submarine was built and how it was employed in the Continental Army's desperate attempt to hold on to New York in 1776.

We also read about the nearly forgotten genius, David Bushnell, whose submarine was as amazing a feat for the 18th century as space travel was for the 20th. The innovation of this one individual, along with the encouragement of such luminaries as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin, epitomized the ingenuity and potential of the new nation.
