Summary of Chapter 1-6

VThese few chapters are about a boy who finds a way to help his country even though he’s too young to fight. The story starts out with a boy by the name of Thomas who goes his local general store when two americans soldiers come in and start robbing the store. All of a sudden a man by the name of FitzGibbon bursts in and stops the americans from robbing the store with the help of Thomas. FitzGibbon takes Thomas to his encampment which leads to him coming with his band of soldiers and Merritt’s militia to take out a supply depot because Thomas knows the area. Well they are traveling to the supply depot they run into an american militia detachment. FitzGibbon tricks the militia in believing that they have 500 troops which makes them retreat. When they get to the supply depot FitzGibbon and Merritt tricks their way into the supply depot. When they go into the depot the men waited outside hear gunshots. All and all in a war you can always find ways to help just like Thomas did by helping the militia find the supply depot.
