description: Historical novel during the American Revolution. The Bedlams were small prosperous, hardworking farmers in Bedford, New York. Their daughter, Cassie, busied herself with beaus and dances. One of their sons was off at Harvard College, the other worked on the farm, and another younger daughter. Cassie is attracted to her brother's college friend Gideon. Then War breaks out and the battle lines are drawn in Westchester County - rebel against Tory, neighbor against neighbor. The Bedham sons go off to war: one loses a hand; the other is taken prisoner and dies on a British prison ship. Cassie is abducted and lives the life of a camp follower - or so it seems.
