Summary "The Boys of Old Monmouth: A Story of Washington's Campaign in New Jersey in 1778" by Everett T. Tomlinson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the events surrounding the Revolutionary War, particularly illuminating life in New Jersey during Washington's campaign. The main character, Tom Coward, navigates the tumultuous landscape of war-torn Monmouth County, grappling with issues of loyalty, personal courage, and the grim realities of the conflict. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to the historical backdrop of Old Monmouth and its significance to the locals, especially in light of the ongoing Revolutionary War. Here, we meet Tom and learn of his complicated past as a "bound boy," having been adopted by a farmer named Benzeor Osburn. The narrative quickly shifts to a pressing threat as news of a band of outlaws, led by the infamous Fenton, looms over the area. The tension escalates as Tom hears of Fenton's violent actions, including the murder of Little Peter's mother while attempting to extort money. This harrowing event compels Tom to weigh his loyalties to his foster family against his desire to protect the innocent, setting in motion a series of conflicts that will test the characters’ morals and allegiances.
