About this book
Along the New Jersey coast in 1778, the struggle for American independence divides neighbors and brings danger to farms, villages and waterways. Everett T. Tomlinson sets this historical novel for young readers amid Washington's campaign against the British forces moving across the state. The opening looks closely at Monmouth's local landmarks and the lives of people whose homes lay within reach of rival bands, raiding boats and passing armies.
Little Peter hopes for news of his father as weary boatmen bring a supply boat into Manasquan Inlet after a storm. Their cargo of guns and ammunition is valuable to the militia, and the sight of a man in danger on the riverbank prompts an urgent response. These coastal scenes give the larger military campaign a human scale.
