Mary Silliman's War is far from a big budget TV movie with a lot of star power and glamorous sets and costumes. But it is still in fact a very good and accurate story. Mary's husband is taken by loyalists and Mary must take over their property. Along the way she receives help from Privateer Hawley, who helps her husband's return possible. Not overdone, but with some cheesy dialogue, I would recommend it to people looking for a more accurate Revolutionary War tale.
