The story explores the American Revolutionary War, centering on the experiences of young recruits in the militia, especially focusing on a boy named Isaac Rice and his mentor, Corporal Elijah Watkins, known as "Corporal 'Lige." The narrative delves into themes of patriotism, youth, and military adventure as the characters prepare to seize the fort at Ticonderoga.
