The story is organized into three parts. What are these parts?

Part 1 is called "Green: The Forest - 1776." In this part, the main character Samuel is introduced and his skills as a woodsman are demonstrated. Samuel's parents and the small settlement where he lives are described. The first part ends when Samuel is on a hunting foray in the woods and sees the smoke from an attack on his home settlement.

Part 2 is called "Red: War - 1776." In this section, Samuel becomes aware of the war raging in the American colonies as he trails the group of British soldiers who captured his parents. He rescues a young girl who also survived an attack and the two of them make their way toward New York City, where they expect Samuel's parents are being held as prisoners.

Part 3 is called "Green: New York City - 1776." This final section describes Samuel and Annie's journey to New York City with the help of a man named Abner McDougal. Once in New York, they manage to find Samuel's parents, rescue them, and escape to the safety of Philadelphia.
