Rendezvous with Rachel Revere

May 2, 1775. Judith Kalaora from History At Play portrays Rachel Revere as she desperately tries to transport her children safely out of the reach of the British Regular Army in Boston.

It is May 2, 1775, and Rachel Revere has only heard from her beloved husband Paul once since his legendary midnight ride on the 18th of April. Still isolated from one another due to the Siege of Boston, Rachel desperately tries to create a plan to safely take her children: six step-children from Paul's first marriage and a newborn baby of their own, from the reach of the British Regular Army in Boston. In this program, you will help Rachel, as she carefully considers the dangers and demands of each plan. Find out if Rachel is successful in her perilous mission to unite her family, amidst the wake of the American Revolution.
