PBS did a complete children's series on the Revolution. The story centers on two teens who are appentices of Benjamin Franklin. Along with being a famous founding father, inventor, diplomat, and scientist, Benjamin Franklin was also a printer who ran his own newspaper. The teens travel to many of the major battles and events of the Revolution and report what they see. I think this still airs on PBS from time to time. It might be worth a watch, if only for pure entertainment. Enjoy.
