Summary "Peggy Owen at Yorktown" by Lucy Foster Madison is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the American Revolutionary War and follows the life and experiences of Peggy Owen, a young girl navigating her loyalties between her family and her patriotic sentiments. Central to the narrative is Peggy's relationship with her cousin Harriet and their involvement in the war efforts, demonstrating the complexities of loyalty and identity during a tumultuous period. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Peggy as she carries a large bundle of linen to make shirts for soldiers, reflecting her active contribution to the war effort. The narrative captures a sunny winter day in Philadelphia in February 1781, where Peggy's lively spirit and determination shine through. As she arrives home, the story explores her interactions with her mother and cousin Harriet, who struggles with her own identity as a loyal subject of the British crown while being surrounded by patriots. This opening segment sets the stage for the themes of loyalty, friendship, and the impact of war on both personal relationships and societal norms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
