The revolutionary patriot known as Henry Free had come to America
as the boy Henner Dellicker-his new life as different as his name
and the childhood he left behind in Germany. He had traveled to
colonial Philadelphia in a ship crowded with starving emigrants,
only to discover that it was indentured servitude, not freedom, to
which he sailed. Conrad Richter's 1943 novel, now restored to
print, tells the rousing story of Free's journey, of his time in
service, and of his struggle for freedom-his own, and that of the
young nation of which he becomes a part. In the process of telling
this story, Richter reveals many details about everyday life in
eighteenth-century Philadelphia and highlights the little-known
part played by the founding fathers of the Pennsylvania Dutch in
America's growth to nationhood.
