About This Book

The narrative follows Jack Irons, a spirited frontier youth, and Margaret Hare as their romance weaves through wilderness adventures, scouting exploits, and the trials of the struggle for independence. A colorful scout, Solomon Binkus, provides frontier wit and guidance while the protagonists serve with and encounter figures of public life, undertake missions, endure imprisonment, and travel to France. Treachery, loyalty, and the costs of war intersect with intimate moments of young love, creating a three-part arc that moves from early valley exploits through military campaigns to diplomatic and personal reckonings abroad.
