In this sequel to Thomas, the Bowden family moves to Pennsylvania and begins running an inn while Mr. Bowden fights in the Revolutionary War. A chance encounter at the inn causes Thomas to be kidnapped by Tory gunrunners, who eventually hand him over to Iroquois Indians. Despite a predictable story line, the plot moves quickly and many characters have a surprising measure of complexity.
