Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

In this complex story, set in the late 18th century, two brothers with contrasting principles feud against one another. One, who refuses to knuckle under to authority and militarism, shoots an English military recruiter when he comes to seek men to fight on the British side against the American colonists during the American Revolution. He is forced to take to the hills and adopts the motto of "death or freedom." His efforts are deliberately misrepresented by his dastardly brother to their father.
