This book is based on a true event, the real life adventure
of nine year-old Ariel Bradley. It reveals the anxiety of
the Americans, who a battle in the first months of the
Revolutionary War. It also shows George Washington’s keen
sense of humor and his wily, perceptive view of his British
adversaries. Ariel Bradley is Washington’s boy spy who pretends to be a
country bumpkin (a “Johnny Raw”). He ‘stumbles’ into
General Howe’s camp “looking for the mill” his father has
sent him in search of. In reality, he is assessing the
strength and numbers of the British and their Hessian
(German) allies. After he is sent on his way by the
unsuspecting English, he reports this to General Washington
and his staff. This information proves key in what became
known as the Battle of White Plains.
