Summary | "Molly, the Drummer Boy: A Story of the Revolution" by Harriet T. Comstock is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the American Revolutionary War and follows a young protagonist, Robert Shirtliffe, who disguises himself as a boy named Molly to enlist as a drummer in the Continental Army. The narrative explores themes of bravery, sacrifice, and identity within the backdrop of the fight for American independence. The plot begins with Debby Mason, who longs for her father, Bill Mason, a soldier struggling with alcoholism. After her father's departure to join the fight, Debby takes on the disguise of a boy to join the army and honor her father's legacy, ultimately becoming known as Molly. As the story unfolds, Molly endures battles, encounters the hardships of war, and meets important historical figures like General Washington. With a focus on personal growth and the impact of war on individuals, Molly's journey reveals her inner strength as she strives to find her father and prove her worth, leading her to unexpected connections and a profound sense of duty. The story culminates in a series of sacrifices that deeply intertwine the fates of Molly, her father, and Debby as they navigate the challenges of love, loss, and courage during the revolution.
