Dorothy Stirling and the Hessian Invasion Tale
Ten year old Dorothy Stirling lives on the outskirts of New York as the Revolution explodes around her. Her father Captain Stirling and loyalist mother defend their family while the city groans under bombardment and streets fill with marching soldiers. A dramatic escape across the East River precedes the homeward return as Hessian pursuers close in, leaving Dorothy to witness upheaval and courage through a child’s eyes.
