Book Description |
| In The Minute Boys of York Town, James Otis plunges readers into the heart of the American Revolutionary War through the eyes of three courageous young Virginians: Fitzroy “Fitz” Hamilton, his cousin Saul Ogden, and the French-born Pierre Laurens. As Lord Cornwallis’s British troops fortify Yorktown, the boys form their own company of Minute Boys, driven by loyalty, honor, and a fierce desire to defend their homes. When their beloved horses are seized, the trio embarks on a risky mission behind enemy lines. Amid danger, espionage, and a tense siege, they learn the true cost of freedom — and the bravery required to claim it. |
