Other editions of book A Captive in Williamsburg

Schools no longer teach America's early history in any meaningful way - particularly its Christian faith, character, or heart for godly justice and liberty. America languishes as its true story languishes. What we need is a series of inspiring historical novels to restore that history to a new generation of American youth and young adults (of all ages) in an enjoyable, entertaining, and dramatic way - and here it is!We are pleased to announce new editions of Peter Reese Doyle's popular Drums of War series of books - with new titles coming. Drums of War interweaves the compelling factual story of America's War for Independence with the exciting fictional tale of brave young men and women from two patriotic families. Their participation in the unfolding of history teaches them about honor and liberty, while young love blossoms in the background.In Volume Three, the Continental Congress has chosen George Washington of Virginia as Commander of the American militia regiments to oppose the British army occupying Boston, Massachusetts. In support, Virginia also sends her finest militia rifle regiments and many supplies to help free the city from British military oppression. Meanwhile, England also threatens Virginia. A British fleet led by her former royal governor Lord Dunmore readies attack on coastal towns. He intends to make the port city of Norfolk a base for invading and subduing this colony and others.Young Andrew Hendricks rides in haste with messages from Williamsburg to Virginia's second regiment at Great Bridge, near Suffolk. The battle here could well determine whether Virginia and America shall regain their historic civil and religious liberties, or submit to the king's tyranny, and slavery under a distant, self-serving government.
