"April Morning" is a novel by Howard Fast that follows the story of a young man named Adam Cooper living in Lexington, Massachusetts during the American Revolutionary War. The main events in the book include the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775, which marks the beginning of the War, as well as Adam's coming-of-age journey and his experiences grappling with the realities of war and independence.
The book April Morning by Howard Fast is a historical fiction about a fifteen year old boy named Adam Cooper. He lives with his grandmother,Moses(his father, Sarah(his mother), and Levi (his little brother). They live with many others in Lexington. Adam had a wonderful life and a girl he truly loved, Ruth Simmons. But there was one person Adam was sure despised him, his father. He believed this because everything he did seemed to upset his father even his feelings for Ruth. His father didn't think they should be playing silly games with each other. If they really cared for each other they should get married. Ada thought that fifteen was a young age to be getting married but his father thought otherwise. His father was sixteen when he got married to Sarah so he figured there was no reason Adam couldn't get married to Ruth. One day, close to midnight, a rider went riding through Lexington to warn everyone(colonists) the British were coming. All of the men( young men included) joined together including Adam. Some of the littler kids ran to ring the towns bell to make sure everyone had awoken. When Adam saw his father staring at him he thought for sure he would be sent home. But instead his father smiled and walked away. Seventy men stood side by side in two straight lines with the older and stronger looking men in front and the younger men in back. They waited for the British soldiers to arrive. When the soldiers arrived, their commander whose name is Major Pitcairn rode up on a horse and shouted to the colonists and told them to disperse. When the colonists had no reply the British began to fire their guns. It was a bloody battle that killed many men including Adams father. But in all the pain and suffering Adam had finally started to understand his father. Even though they were moving on the battles with the British had not yet ended but only begun.
