The rebels: John Holcroft; John Gaston; the Hamilton brothers… Daniel and David; Colonel John Hamilton; Benjamin Parkinson; Phillip Wigle; Andrew and James McFarlane. The law: General John Neville; Marshal David Lenox; Major Abraham Kirkpatrick. Put them together, and they create the sparks that ignite the Whiskey Rebellion. This is their story.
