KIRKUS REVIEW
A third novel of early America (see Guns in the Wilderness and Free) is set in the period following the Battle of Brandywine and briskly follows the adventures of very young Charlie Morrison whose early morning explorations become the means of alerting Washington to a trap set by the British. But there is also excitement and mystery in the months to come. Charlie meets and makes friends with Peter Francisco, a sentry in Washington's camp. Then Charlie and his uncle are accused of being Tory sympathizers by a man who wants their land. With the future a dark question mark, a term with Greene in North Carolina follows and builds to a climax with the rescue of Peter who is wounded, the clearance of Peter's own bidden background and the belief that freedom for themselves and for the new land is at hand. Single minded but fast moving; a fair supplement to textbook information on the Revolution.

August 27, 2019 | Edited by Cheryl A | Just about everything... I borrowed the book to confirm, and indeed Jay Williams has nothing to do with this book, nor to the Peasants of the 1500s. It seems as if the original poster had two different books to hand, but I cannot figure out what Jay Williams book was meant. Current record fits the borrowable book, other book lost (at least for now). |
