Ariel Bradley

spy for General Washington
2013
Ariel Bradley is Washington's boy spy who pretends to be a country bumpkin (a "Johnny Raw"). He 'stumbles' into General Howe's camp "looking for the mill" his father has sent him in search of. In reality, he is assessing the strength and numbers of the British and their Hessian (German) allies.
