The Pres Redway Story,
By Peter R. Limburg (Bedford, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pres Redway Story, 1780-1781 : A Novel (Paperback)
THE PRES REDWAY STORY is a well-researched tale of the American Revolutionary period, rich in authentic details of life in the military and on the farm (many Revolutionary soldiers served for limited terms only, returning to their farms or businesses after their term was up). Although the enthusiasm of the young hero, Preserved Redway, and his girl friend, Polly Hall, for running strains credibility, other elements of the tale are solidly grounded in historical records, memoirs, letters, etc. Drama is supplied by the romance of Pres and Polly, set against the uncertain fortunes of war and the treason of Benedict Arnold, himself the respected hero of the Battle of Saratoga. In addition to Arnold, the reader will meet such notables as Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, Sam Fraunce, the free black owner of famed Fraunce's Tavern, the redoubtable General Israel Putnam,and George Washington himself. This is a book for the history buff.
