Uncle Rick Reads Steadfast at Valley Forge

Young Nicholas is a faithful subject of King George. After all, his father had been an exemplary officer in His Majesty’s army during the French and Indian War.  But after seeing the outrages committed against his fellow Pennsylvania farmers by the British soldiers and their Hessian hirelings, Nick feels his loyalty weakening.  The courage of the Patriot soldiers suffering through the desperate winter at Valley Forge inspires him.  Why do they endure so much when their hopes of liberty seem so unlikely to succeed? You’ll feel as if you’re right there with Nick as he fights his battle with his conscience—and with the mysterious nightrider known as the Black Huntsman.
