Summary "Peggy Owen, Patriot: A Story for Girls" by Lucy Foster Madison is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War, the story centers around Peggy Owen, a young Quaker girl who becomes an ardent patriot, navigating the complexities of war and loyalty. The narrative explores themes of courage, family, and the personal sacrifices made during a tumultuous time in American history. The opening of the story introduces Peggy and her mother on a journey to Philadelphia in September 1778. Their trip is disrupted when Peggy's saddle girth breaks, leading them to encounter a young, ragged man who offers to help them. This encounter reveals the precarious nature of life during the war, where trust is scarce, and danger lurks on the roads. As they continue their journey and eventually return to the city, Peggy grapples with her identity as a Quaker who supports the fight for liberty, highlighting her internal conflict between her upbringing and her desire to help her country. The groundwork is laid for Peggy's further adventures, her character development, and the challenges she will face in a city recovering from British occupation.
