The novel is set in the years 1780-1781 during the American War of Independence. This historical narrative is inspired by the discovery of a period document concerning a man tasked with an important mission during the war, acting under the authority of George Washington. The protagonist is a wandering peddler, a mysterious figure who traverses the territory of both opposing armies and ultimately meets his end on the battlefield. The unfolding of the war conflict between the British and the American colonies is illustrated through the experiences of a farming family, whose members find themselves on both sides of the struggle. The story explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the complexities of human relationships amidst the chaos of war.
