Synopsis: After visiting with his friend Peter, Johann makes a discovery that puts soldiers at risk.
Excerpt:
It was still October but the chilly wind cut through his heavy sweater. All the farmers said the winter of 1777 would be a bad one.
The English colonists left their cows out all winter as they had done in England. But not Johann's family, or the other Pennsylvania Dutch colonists. They came from the Rhineland in Germany where winters were bitter. They believed in the old German saying, "A good cow one expects to find in the barn."
It was hard for Johann to explain ideas in English. He searched for the right words. What does the king know about living in Pennsylvania? It is better to be free to make our own laws."
