Synopsis

A young patriot stakes everything in a perilous rush toward freedom.

This brisk historical adventure recreates the dawn of the American Revolution, centering on a night of alarms, marches, and the first clashes between Lexington’s minute-men and British troops. Readers follow a cast of loyal youths and steadfast neighbors as they answer the call of liberty, face fear, and weigh loyalty to country against personal risk. The book blends action with a look at how communities forged a shared resolve in the shadow of war.

• The midnight ride and beacon signals that warn of incoming danger.
• The tense stand on Lexington Green and the skirmish that follows.
• A network of young helpers and loyal allies who rally to defend their homes.
• A plan that tests bravery, persistence, and the bonds of friendship and family.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical adventure, vivid battle scenes, and stories of courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
