McIntyre is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the American Revolutionary War, the story focuses on Tom Deering, a young boy who becomes embroiled in the fight for independence alongside his loyal servant Cole, who has suffered brutality at the hands of British officers. The novel explores themes of courage and resilience in the face of oppression as Tom navigates a world of conflict and family loyalty. The opening of the story introduces Tom Deering and Cole as they sail toward the city of Charleston in September 1775, observing the British ships in the harbor and the rumblings of rebellion around them. As they arrive at the wharf, they encounter Tom's Uncle Dick, who hints at impending conflict and the gathering of local patriots. The scene sets a tense atmosphere, emphasizing the struggles faced by the colonists against British tyranny, especially through Cole's traumatic backstory. When Tom learns that Colonel Moultrie is preparing for a potential attack on Fort Johnson, the stakes of their fight for liberty become deeply personal as he resolves to join in the burgeoning efforts against King George's forces.
