For Andrew and Jack, life in the colonies is always uncertain, but over two days in December, 1774, their world will change forever!
Young Andrew Beckett hopes to be a doctor. His friend Jack Cochran plans to take over his father's position as militia captain of the fort. Then Paul Revere rides into town with urgent news.
Andrew doesn't want a revolution, but he doesn't approve of how the King treats the colonists. On one night, when tempers push the townspeople to action, Andrew must make a choice. What would you do?
The Portsmouth Alarm: December 1774 is based on an actual event. Just four
months before the events in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, Paul
Revere delivered a message to the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Committee of
Correspondence. The message warned of General Gage's shocking plan for the
Piscataqua Region sparking hundreds in New Hampshire and Massachusetts
(now Maine) to take action.
