The Minute Boys of the Mohawk Valley

In the heat of the Revolutionary War, a handful of teenage boys from the Mohawk Valley band together, answering the call to defend their homes with wooden rifles and fierce enthusiasm. Their makeshift drills on the outskirts of Cherry Valley reveal a raw, unpolished martial spirit that both amazes and unsettles the seasoned warriors watching from the surrounding hills.

When rumors of an impending Indian raid reach the valley, the youngsters are thrust into a tense standoff that tests their resolve far beyond simple drills. A clandestine council with local leaders forces them to confront fear, uncertainty, and the harsh realities of frontier warfare, while still clinging to the youthful bravado that first brought them together. Their early experiences hint at the larger, dangerous world that awaits, setting the stage for a gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and the thin line between boyhood and battle.
