Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Neal, the Miller: A Son of Liberty" by James Otis is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. The book follows the life of Walter Neal, a young miller who becomes embroiled in the revolutionary spirit of the pre-Revolutionary War era in New Hampshire. This tale explores themes of resistance against oppressive taxation and the struggle for individual liberty in the face of British governance. The narrative centers on Walter Neal, who aspires to build a grist-mill on the Pascataqua River, a goal thwarted by financial difficulties and legal troubles. His journey leads him to join the Sons of Liberty, which thrusts him into the conflict against British rule, particularly against the imposition of the Stamp Act. As he navigates through challenges such as an unlawful arrest and a harrowing escape, his character grows through his interactions with friends like Andrew McCleary and his unexpected bond with Sewatis, a Native American who becomes both a companion and an ally. Their combined efforts move Walter closer to realizing his dream of establishing the mill, symbolizing hope for freedom and self-sufficiency in a turbulent time.
