Summary |
"The Young Continentals at Bunker Hill" by John T. McIntyre is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Ezra Prentiss and his companions as they navigate the tensions leading up to the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War. The narrative intertwines themes of bravery and loyalty against the backdrop of colonial strife against British forces. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Ezra Prentiss, who embarks on a mission to distribute important documents related to the effort for independence. During his journey, he faces dangers such as Tories and potential encounters with spies. Ezra's determination to enlist men for the colonial army becomes clear as he engages in conversations with hesitant farmers, urging them to take action against British oppression. The opening portion establishes Ezra as a fervent patriot and sets the stage for the escalating tensions that will culminate in the pivotal battle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
