Wallabout Bay

By John D Hansen

The year is 1778. The rebellion, as the British called it, was in full swing. Seventeen-year-old Ben Whittom's family has been decimated by smallpox. Now, it is up to him to take care of his two younger sisters in the midst of the deprivations inflicted upon the civilians as a result of the fighting. Things were not going well for the rebels. Washington's men are starving at Valley Forge. Ben never thought, not even for a second, that their suffering would impact him and his sisters. He was wrong to think that. So very wrong. What transpires after Washington's soldiers visit the Whittom farm causes Ben to make an impetuous, foolhardy, some said, decision as a means of he and his sisters surviving the war. Early on, he realizes the naysayers were likely right, that he would not survive his foolish quest. But, there was no turning back.
