A Story of the Revolutionary War

The Young Frontiersman Book 1

It is 1777, early in the Revolutionary War, when fleet young Barnabas Locke runs against an hourglass to become a courier in Captain Whitcomb’s Rangers. In the defense of Fort Ticonderoga, he is dispatched as a solo spy to track the movements of troops and gunboats as British General “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne masses his forces for the expected assault down Lake Champlain. Barnabas reunites with his close friend, the Abenaki warrior and visionary Squando, rescues a free man of color, and outwits a foppish British lieutenant, who becomes an intractable enemy.   In a race against time, armed with his tomahawk and a pistol, he is pursued by three wily Huron warriors, steals a fractious British horse, and encounters another spy on the run. Barnabas Locke is fictional, but historic figures march across the pages of his story, including the battlefield rescue of the heroic General Benedict Arnold.

Because of his great ability to run long distances, and ride like the wind, Barnabas Locke is recruited to run messages to the revolutionaries, and secretly gather information from the British. But he doesn't accomplish this without the help of his Abenaki friend Squanto, and his beloved horse, Little Bay. You will grow to love Little Bay as much as you love reading about the adventures of Barnabas and Squanto. Hold on to your hat. This is just the first of four books (soon to be five?), written by the new, exciting storyteller, Matthew Blaine.
