In the summer of 1779, as the major fighting of the
Revolutionary War moves to the South, a British force consisting of
fewer than a thousand Scottish infantry and backed by three
sloops-of-war sails to the fogbound coast of New England.
Establishing a garrison and naval base at Penobscot Bay, in the
eastern province of Massachusetts, the Scots harry rebel privateers
and shelter American loyalists. In response, the Americans send
more than forty vessels and some one thousand infantrymen to
"captivate, kill, or destroy" the foreign invaders. But ineptitude
and irresolution lead to a mortifying defeat that will have
stunning repercussions for two men on opposite sides of the
conflict: an untested young Scottish lieutenant named John Moore,
at the beginning of an illustrious military career . . . and a
Boston silversmith and patriot named Paul Revere, who will face
court-martial for disobedience and cowardice.
