The Rangers; or, The Tory's Daughter / A Tale Illustrative of the Revolutionary History of Vermont and the Northern Campaign of 1777

A historical tale set in Revolutionary-era Vermont follows scouts and local fighters as they navigate harsh winter travel, river crossings, and political tensions between loyalists and revolutionaries. Presented in two linked volumes, the narrative interweaves frontier adventure, scouting missions, and military maneuvering with domestic scenes centered on a young woman whose family allegiance complicates community loyalties. Descriptive passages emphasize landscape, weather, and the practical hardships of travel and campaigning, while episodes dramatize skirmishes, espionage, and personal conflicts arising from divided political loyalties, concluding with a resolution that connects local events to the larger northern military campaign.
