When Ari Levy of Easttown, Pennsylvania, went off to fight the British with "Mad Anthony" Wayne, he had no idea what was in store for him: love for a beautiful girl; a hazardous time as a spy in New York; narrow escapes in lonely places. But there was another side to the coin in being a soldier in the Pennsylvania line during the American Revolution. Author Earl Schenck Miers vividly describes the misery and starvation of the troops in Morristown, New Jersey, that led to one of the dramatic events of the Revolution-the mutiny of men who had been pressed beyond human endurance.
