Abstract
Examining children’s versions of Joseph Plumb Martin’s 1830 memoir of his years as an adolescent Revolutionary War soldier—Yankee Doodle Boy (1964), A Young Patriot (1996), and The Diary of Joseph Plumb Martin (2001)—this essay shows how some excisions radically change the text’s activist goals to preserve national mythology.
