Summary
In this novel, the author of The Trees has written of those early Americans who were among his own forebears-the sturdy, courageous, hard-working, liberty-loving Palantine Germans who with the Alsatians and Swiss came to farm in Pennsylvania and stayed to win their collective freedom on the battlefields of the Revolution. As a footnote to history The Free Man is freshly revealing of an important but unfamiliar aspect of our growth to nationhood and the part played in it by the founding fathers of the Pennsylvania Dutch, their "little Declaration of Independence" as early as April and May 1775, and their introduction and development of that great American influence, the pioneer rifle.
