"Liberty's Kids" Gallery

 In celebration of finishing all three main characters from the TV show "Liberty's Kids", here is a little gallery showing our heroes and heroine in action.

Benjamin Franklin's Gazette is eager to print a report on the action at Turnbull's Farm.  He is assigning his team of James Hiller (green waistcoat), Sarah Phillips (blue skirt), and Henri Lefebrve (red waistcoat) to gather information.

James Hiller interviews American and French officers.  The Gazette will be pleased to have this first-hand information.  A few earlier reports have appeared, but none have demonstrated the accuracy and clarity that these young reporters can achieve.  Sarah and Henri can be seen to James' right, also jotting down their notes.  Sentries ring the house, and one sits on a stool to  enjoy a pipe.

Despite control of much of the countryside by American militia, it still pays to be careful when scouting for news.  Those investigating events and asking questions are naturally suspicious characters and it would not do to incur even more suspicion by being seen meeting with rebel officers.

Moving carefully out of the house was a wise precaution, as the reporters are stopped by a British patrol.  However, Sarah Phillips is usually able to talk her way out of trouble by demonstrating her Loyalist sympathies.  The privates of the 80th Royal Edinburgh Volunteers regard her as a heroine, for she expressed her opinions of the Continental Congress too freely and escaped from captivity in the skirmish at Turnbull's Farm.

 In addition to her own exploits, she is honoured as the daughter of Captain Phillips, believed killed at Turnbull's Farm. His body was carried from the field by the grenadiers, but he was not dead.  He is currently recovering from severe wounds suffered at Turnbull's Farm.  However, he is unable to endure the rigors of campaigning, and the grenadier company is currently without its captain.  His wife Lady Phillips has joined him in his convalescence.
