Summary
"The author, in selecting the background for her story, turns to the famous Ephrata Cloister in the Pennsylvania Dutch country of southeastern Pennsylvania. This cloister contains serious-minded, religious men and women who feed the soldiers and bind their wounds. They like young Stephen so much that they are especially nice to him. In return, and at considerable risk of which he thinks nothing, he eagerly volunteers to thwart a plot against the life of General Washington who is planning to visit the wounded soldiers."
