The story of John Slocum’s young son (Oliver or William)—a boy of about ten years old—undertaking a perilous night journey to warn the town of Falmouth is one of extraordinary courage and determination. This act, carried out in the tense and dangerous days of early April 1779, proved pivotal in saving the town from destruction during the Revolutionary War.
