The Dare Boys of 1776

The Dare Boys of 1776 by Stephen Angus Cox propels listeners into Revolutionary America as two teenage brothers trade farm life for daring patriotism and clandestine adventure. Set against the thunder of Independence and the fog of war, young Dick and Tom Dare witness the excitement of July 4, 1776, and soon find themselves embroiled in night attacks, espionage behind enemy lines, and the tense streets of New York as the Continental Army prepares for battle. A fast-paced blend of historical fiction and spy story, the audiobook captures the period’s urgency while honoring themes of courage, loyalty, and coming-of-age. Episodes like clandestine missions, a haunted house mystery, and encounters that win General Washington’s approval highlight the imaginative ways teens contribute to history without straying into spoilers. The narrative evokes the sights, sounds, and moral dilemmas of the Revolution, making past events vivid for modern ears. Perfect for young adult listeners, classroom storytime, and fans of historical spy-adventures, this audiobook brings a lesser-known youth-centered tale of 1776 to life—ideal for anyone who loves action-driven history, gritty patriotism, and brave young heroes.
