First in a series (entitled Drums of War) of historical novels for youth and young adults designed to teach in an enjoyable way the principles, events, and persons behind America's independence. Independence is set in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1775 when the Royal Governor sent British troops to steal gunpowder form the town's public magazine. The colonists are alerted and the drama builds to a climax as Patrick Henry leads Partiot militiamen toward a dramatic showdown with the British Governor.
