The Minute Boys of the Mohawk Valley E-text prepared by Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "The Minute Boys of the Mohawk Valley" by James Otis is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the brave young boys of Cherry Valley, New York, who unite to form a group known as the "Minute Boys" during the American Revolutionary War. Through the eyes of the main character, Noel Campbell, the story unfolds as the boys take on the formidable task of defending their settlement from threats posed by Loyalist forces and Native American allies, particularly the infamous sachem, Thayendanega. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Noel and his friends, who, inspired by the Minute Men of Lexington, decide to take up arms—albeit with wooden guns—to protect their homes. Under the guidance of Sergeant Corney, an old soldier, they undergo military drills, inadvertently scaring away Thayendanega and his warriors, who mistakenly believe they are facing a larger army. As the boys become embroiled in the conflict, the stakes grow higher when Jacob Sitz's father is captured, prompting Noel and the rest to embark on a dangerous mission to rescue him. The opening portion sets the stage for themes of courage, friendship, and the harsh realities of war, making it both a thrilling tale and a poignant examination of youth in the face of adversity.
