Summary

On an April morning in 1775, Benjamin Russell's teacher announces, "The war's begun, and you may run!" Ben and his classmates excitedly rush outside and follow the throngs of British troops marching out of Boston toward Concord. Much to the boys' surprise, Boston is sealed off later that day -- leaving them stuck outside the city, in the middle of a war, with no way to reach their families. But Ben isn't worried -- he's eager to help the patriots! He soon becomes a clerk to the jovial Israel Putnam, a general in the provincial army. And when the Battle of Bunker Hill erupts, Ben is both awed and dismayed by all he witnesses
