About This Book

A young man leaves a comfortable household to join the Continental Army, learning camp discipline and enduring winter hardships while awaiting word about an injured kinsman. He proves his courage in skirmishes and larger engagements, survives narrow escapes, imprisonment, and a perilous swim, and plays a key part in recovering important papers that reveal a plot. An eccentric investigator, loyal companions, and a hostile officer complicate events, and the involvement of the commander-in-chief helps shape military and legal resolutions by the tale's close.
