The story

On 4 July 1776, fur trapper Tom Dobb and his young son Ned sail to New York City. They witness a riotous mob tearing down a statue of the King George III while declaring their independence from English rule. The mob seizes Dobb's boat and cargo to sell for funds, compensating him with a "note" for future reimbursement.
