The Minute Boys of the Wyoming Valley by James Otis is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. Set on the Pennsylvania frontier during the American Revolution, it follows sixteen-year-old Jonathan Ogden and a band of teenage “Minute Boys” who defend their valley against Tories and Mohawk allies gathering at Wintermoot’s Fort. The story blends siege craft, scouting, and rescue with themes of loyalty, courage, and makeshift soldiering. The opening of the novel frames the real-world strife over Wyoming Valley’s land claims and fort-building before shifting to Jonathan’s first-person account. He organizes a twenty-two–boy company, mans Fort Jenkins with scant ammunition, and faces a tightening ring of Mohawk scouts while quelling a near-mutiny after a settler’s sister is seized. Elias Shendle scouts Wintermoot’s, Jonathan slips through the lines, and the veterans’ ally Simon Bartlett joins him; together they fight off a lone attacker and dash back under fire. A night assault follows: Indians feint at the river, scale the gate, and the boys beat them back in brutal hand-to-hand combat, suffering one death and several wounds. Taking advantage of the lull, Bartlett, Giles March, and the girl’s brother pull off a stealth rescue by river and snatch provisions from the lodges; refugees then reach the fort with supplies, and the defenders confer soberly, bracing for the larger Tory-Indian force rumored to be advancing.
