One evening at the end of 1780, a lone rider rode along one of the many valleys of West Chester County. A thunderstorm was gathering, it was time to think about staying overnight, but the local residents were wary of strangers and were not allowed outside the threshold. The North of America was engulfed in the Revolutionary War, and many colonists wore a mask, afraid to go to the grave with the shameful stigma of the enemy. The next volume of "Masters of Adventure" includes the famous novel by James Fenimore Cooper "Spy" - one of the first books of world literature, which told about the ambiguous fate of the hero of the secret war of the knights of the cloak and dagger.
