Prichard is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on various aspects and lesser-known narratives surrounding the American Revolution, with particular attention to the roles played by women during this tumultuous time in American history. Through her vignettes, Prichard illuminates the bravery and resilience of her characters, such as the determined Martha Moulton, who embodies the spirit of patriotism amidst the chaos of war. At the start of the collection, the reader is introduced to the story of Martha Moulton, a woman who decides to remain in Concord while others flee from the impending battle with British soldiers. As she prepares breakfast for her elderly uncle, Uncle John, and attempts to hide their valuable possessions from the soldiers, her unwavering determination is evident. The story captures a moment of personal struggle against overwhelming fear, exploring themes of duty to family, community, and country. As tensions rise and the first shots of the Revolution are fired, Martha’s calm resilience sets the stage for a tale of courage that challenges traditional gender roles of the time and offers a poignant reflection on the sacrifices made for freedom.
