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. The opening of the story introduces a spirited atmosphere in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in May 1775, as the townspeople buzz with excitement over a committee's arrival to recruit soldiers for a crucial mission. Isaac Rice, a fourteen-year-old boy eager for adventure, is drawn to Corporal 'Lige, who shares his past military experience and now seeks to assist in the upcoming expedition. The recruitment serves as a backdrop to their budding relationship as Isaac navigates his excitement and apprehension about war, while Corporal 'Lige provides guidance and knowledge about Ticonderoga and its significance. The dynamic between the seasoned soldier and the young recruit sets the stage for the unfolding drama of war and the quest for glory.
