About the Book

This novel takes the reader through one-hundred years of a Pennsylvania Dutch family. It begins in 1675 in a small one-room school in the Wurttemberg Province of Germany. Two boys, 15 years-old and best friends, have heard about the New World from their teacher. He also tells them about William Penn. They attend a meeting with William Penn who has come to Germany to talk about his Quaker beliefs and his dream of a "Holy Experiment," which will become the colony of Pennsylvania. After many years of struggle, the two friends emigrate to the New World. In America the English and Queen Ann force them to be indentured servants along the Hudson River in New York. They leave this indentured service and travel secretly to the Mohawk Valley and eventually to the Western Frontier of Pennsylvania. They and there families become involved in the French-Indian War and then the Revolution. During the course of these events they serve with Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Dr. Joseph Warren, Henry Knox, John and Sam Adams, and other patriots in establishing an independent America. The novel is filled with drama: joys, sorrows, successes and failures. Although this is a family saga, it is based upon history and gives the reader a personal way to learn about America before and during the Revolution.
