The minute boys of the Mohawk valley follows a group of young boys who band together to defend their community during the American Revolutionary War. Inspired by the bravery of the Minute Men of Lexington, the boys form their own group, the Minute Boys, and take up arms—albeit wooden ones—to protect their homes from the threats posed by Loyalist forces and their Native American allies. The narrative introduces the boys as they begin military drills under the guidance of a seasoned soldier, and in a surprising turn, their mock training leads to the retreat of a dangerous group of enemies who mistake them for a larger army. As the story progresses, the boys are drawn into the broader conflict when one of their own has a loved one captured, and they embark on a daring rescue mission. The tale explores the themes of courage, friendship, and the challenges young people face in wartime, offering a compelling look at their resilience and the realities of war.
