Summary "The Minute Boys of Boston" by James Otis is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of young boys in Boston during the American Revolutionary period, specifically focusing on a character named Luke Wright as he joins his friends Archie and Silas in their commitment to the colonial cause against British rule. The novel explores themes of courage, friendship, and the spirit of rebellion, demonstrating how the youth of the time played their part in the struggle for independence. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Luke Wright, a fifteen-year-old boy reflecting on his experiences in Boston amidst escalating tensions with British soldiers. Luke and his friends, inspired by the actions of their fathers, feel compelled to take a stand against the oppressive rule of General Gage. They declare themselves the "Minute Boys of Boston" and undertake significant missions, such as delivering messages to military leaders and planning a potential resistance. The opening chapter sets the tone for adventure and camaraderie, inviting readers to witness the boys' determined efforts to assist in the burgeoning fight for freedom.
