Pierre Grimard was a courageous little boy who lived with his parents on the Northwest Frontier in Colonial America. His home was in Vincennes, a tiny, peaceful French settlement on the banks of the majestic Wabash River.

Little Spy of Vincennes tells the exciting story of a young French-American boy who joined with his father in the great battle for liberty and freedom known as the American Revolution.
