The Continental Dragoon A Love Story of Philipse Manor-House in 1778

On a cold, windy November afternoon in 1778, three riders cut a solitary line through the Albany post‑road. A headstrong young woman urges her companions onward, a cloaked gentleman follows with a quiet resolve, and a small Black youth tends the horses and the heavy luggage they carry. Their hurried passage hints at a secret mission amid the chaos of a war that has already scarred the colonies, and the landscape itself seems to echo the tension between duty and desire.

Their destination is the storied Philipse Manor, where a fledgling romance threatens to blossom despite the surrounding turmoil. As the Continental army battles on and the British presence looms, the characters must navigate loyalty, danger, and the fragile hope of love in a world on the brink of change. Listeners will be drawn into a vivid portrait of Revolutionary America, where personal hearts race as fast as the horses that carry them.
