Barrels, Battlegrounds and a Cambridge Camp
Colin Cabot, a young patriot, escapes a barrel prison and joins Washington’s army at Cambridge. He befriends Nancy Woodbridge and proves his mettle in wrestling while learning the rough, affectionate life of 1775 camp society. Amos Farnsworth’s rough wisdom frames the new world’s pioneer army.
