"Welcome," one of the men called. " Might thee be Benjamin Benneker, the man who made the wooden clock?" Benjamin's heart leaped with the same excited he'd felt 20 years ago when he'd built his own clock.
When Benjamin rode home late that afternoon, he could hardly believe his good fortune. In December 1773, news came from Boston that some men had dumped three shiploads of British tea into Boston Harbor.
In the Spring 1775, the first shots of the revolutionary war were fired at Lexington and Concord between American minuteman. One year later in 1776, the new American congrss in Philadelphis decided, at last.
In 1783, the Americans and the British signed a peace treaty. Benjamin was 52 years old, and he was proud to live in the new United States of America.
By the end of the summer, Benjamin knew how to predict eclipses of the sun and of the moon. He could do all the figuring needed for an almanac, and he was ready to begin on of his own.
But before Benjamin could get started, he had an unexpected adventure.
