Sol Binkus and Jack Irons Scout for Washington in 1776

Solomon Binkus and Jack Irons, veteran scouts, traverse through Horse Valley and Boston surrendering to danger, capture, and daring feats as they aid Washington’s forces. Their bond grows amidst ambushes, prison peril, and distant letters from Margaret in London and Franklin’s hospital plans.

Boston Jail Chapter XV Endures Cruel Detention

Jack is paraded through Boston guarded as bells ring on Sunday. A guard, Clarke, taunts him while Jack asserts his skill. Delivered to a foul, poorly ventilated jail, Jack and Solomon Binkus endure weeks in a dirtied, overcrowded cell with poor rations and vermin. Solomon recalls Margaret’s smallpox illness and warns of Clarke’s betrayal. The pair remain imprisoned as rebel prisoners in harsh conditions.
