Life in 1769 was far different than we know it to be today. Benjamin Pembroke was just eleven years old, and in those times people his age were already working and taking on very adult roles. Benjamin's father wished for his son to join him in the family import business. But the boy only dreamed of becoming a soldier. With tensions building in Boston over taxation and unfair representation from Britain, Benjamin soon received a firsthand lesson on the value of liberty and the importance of standing for what is right.
