Summary "The Young Continentals at Lexington" by John T. McIntyre is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the prelude to the American Revolutionary War, the book explores the lives of young patriots amidst the tensions between the American colonies and British rule. The story primarily follows four boys who become embroiled in the events leading to the conflict, presenting their adventures against the backdrop of historical figures and critical moments in American history. The opening of the novel introduces Ben Cooper and his father, Robert, who engage in a conversation with the cantankerous Stephen Comegies, a local loyalist, about the growing unrest in the colonies. As Ben rides back from a trip, he senses a foreboding atmosphere hinting at impending conflict. The narrative sets the stage for the boys' involvement in the revolutionary fervor, showcasing their anticipation of war and rebellion. The first chapter builds tension as the characters discuss the possibility of rebellion and the threats posed by Tories, establishing a dramatic context that hints at the pivotal events to follow, particularly the stand at Lexington. The characters' personalities and loyalties emerge through their interactions, laying the groundwork for the struggles and adventures they will face in a time of national upheaval.
