And when nineteen-year-old Lieutenant Pilgrim Penn, second-in-command of the United States contingent, is unjustly punished for crossing the authority of the prison militia on the road to Dartmoor, he learns that sharing a common enemy does not guarantee solidarity between the long-established French and the heavily outnumbered Americans.Latest Additions
