Young Patriot Joins Washington in Night Escape
In July 1775 Boston’s bells spark a dramatic parting as Colin Cabot and Patience Fayerweather, lovers from different worlds, resolve to join Washington’s army. Revere helps the pair flee through stealth to Ebenezer Sneach’s fishhouse, where a hidden pit shelters Colin as danger closes in. The tale ends with a promise of continuation next week.
