Told as the diary of young Jonathan Ogden, this is the story of what the boys of Pennsylvania’s Wyoming Valley did in 1778 while their fathers were away with the Continental Army. They form a company, endure a siege and the terrible battle that followed, make sorties, survive in an underground hiding place and hold out on Monocasy Island.

A Revolutionary War adventure for young readers, built around one of the war’s most tragic frontier episodes. Download the free EPUB.
