More DescriptionA fourteen year old patriot, Isaac Norris Allerton, describes his account of the emerging Revolution as he runs off to meet the Liberty Boys, joins the revolution at The Boston Tea Party, again at Concord and Lexington, meets Paul Revere, Sam Adams and Dr. Preston and fights alongside his hero Dr. Preston when he is killed at Breed's Hill. He volunteers to take part in Henry Knox as they bring the cannon form Fort Ticonderoga to free Boston Harbor from the British blockade. During the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse he falls wounded, is left for dead and is left to rot in the British prison ships. Alexander Duncan Ross, a First Lieutenant from the 16th Queens Lancers finds his journal on the field of battle and begins to write his side, the English side of the conflict.
As he reads Isaac's journal he discovers that he admires the courage of the Patriots and slowly comes to sympathize with their struggle for freedom. At the end of the war Duncan returns the journal to Isaac's family where it finally comes back into the hands of its owner.
Follow Isaac, Zak as he is known to fellow Patriots as he tells his story first hand of America's fight for Freedom.
