The story is set during the American Revolutionary War and follows young Virginia boys Fitzroy Hamilton and his cousin Saul Ogden as they aspire to join the fight against British forces. The narrative begins by introducing the two boys' experiences with war and their longing to serve as Minute Boys, a term for those ready to mobilize quickly for battle. The opening of the story establishes a backdrop of tension and uncertainty, as societal loyalties are tested amid the conflict between colonists and British soldiers. Fitzroy and Saul are inspired by their cousin Pierre Laurens to take a stand, feeling compelled to act against the British, especially after their beloved horses are taken by soldiers. The young protagonists first discuss forming their own company of Minute Boys, illustrating their determination and youthful bravery, while hints of personal conflict—highlighted by their interactions with Pierre and others—indicate deeper themes of friendship, loyalty, and the struggles of youth during a tumultuous time. The boys' adventure is set against a vivid portrayal of the period, engaging the reader in their quest for identity and purpose amid the chaos of war.
