Summary "The Liberty Boys Running the Blockade; or, Getting Out of New York" by Harry Moore is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story, set during the American Revolutionary War, centers around a group of young patriots known as the Liberty Boys, focusing particularly on their captain, Dick Slater, and his friend Bob Estabrook. The plot unfolds as they navigate the dangers and intrigues of British spies in New York City while striving to protect their camp and live up to their patriotic ideals. The opening of the book introduces readers to Dick Slater and Bob Estabrook as they suspect they are being followed by a possible British spy. They cleverly navigate a series of encounters and deceptions as they work to uncover the spy's intentions. Their suspicion leads them to Fraunces' tavern, a popular meeting spot for army officers, where they engage in feigned conversations to throw off the spy. This initial encounter sets the stage for high-stakes espionage, showcasing the boys' resourcefulness and determination to serve their country amidst the looming threat of British forces. As the story unfolds, themes of bravery, camaraderie, and clever tactics against a backdrop of war and conflict begin to emerge, promising an exciting adventure ahead.
