About This Book

The volume collects short tales set during the American Revolution that spotlight everyday people confronting wartime disruption. Stories depict a resolute woman who remains when neighbors flee, boys who perform small but consequential deeds, inventive experiments such as an early submersible, and episodes like beacon fires, the toppling of a royal statue, and the privations of winter encampments. The sketches alternate domestic detail and public drama, using anecdote and local memory to explore courage, ingenuity, and communal endurance.
