Tories and Patriots

"Tories and Patriots" continues the saga of Private Will Stoner of the Massachusetts Artillery as the British fleet arrives in New York harbor in the summer of 1776. Under fire for the first time, Will barely escapes the disastrous defeat of the American Army at the Battle of Brooklyn. Fighting alongside the Marblehead Mariners, Will and his gun crew inflict heavy losses on the Hessians at the Battle of Pelham Bay, and then retreat the length of the New Jersey, hotly pursued by the advancing British Army.New Jersey itself is a colony of divided loyalties.
