Synopsis

He glanced quickly to the sky as if asking for a moment of courage. It was quick in coming; his mind was made up long ago. Still a teenager, Johnny Parker would become a private in the Pennsylvania Line fighting for America's independence! Over the next five years, Johnny sees his commanding officers cut down in battle. He watches as dozens of new-found comrades-in-arms are impaled by the feared British bayonets or blown to bits by their artillery. He witnesses many others succumb to small pox, cholera, starvation, and exposure to the extreme cold of winters at Crown Point, Valley Forge, and Middlebrook. Yet he stays. Follow Johnny from the retreat from Canada to Brandywine, from the carnage of Paoli to the bloody mayhem of Germantown and Monmouth as he makes his own not insignificant mark on the thrilling history of America's fight for independence.
