Summary:
"On a warm sunny day in June 1782, the
women
and young
children
of the village of Chester come together to defend their still-fledgling settlement against the
invading
and much more well armed Americans. Armed only with their
cunning
and imagination, this rag-tag group of settlers pushed back the marauding intruders without the loss of a single life. In this fictional account of those events, veteran author Vernon Oickle weaves facts and legend to tell a story that has become part of Nova Scotia's heritage and folklore."--Publisher.
