Saga of the Ages
The American Revolutionary War happened at a time when optimist was high among the American people and much patriotism. The colonies had shifted into a law-abiding state and relied more on American employment than help from the British government. Americans were proud of their new land and the discovery of liberty and freedom. Many of the first settlers’ descendants came to America to escape political and religious persecution. Others came to discover a new world, one free of Britain’s government and taxation.
The thirteen American colonies had settled on the Eastern and Northeastern regions. The colonists entered the country through Plymouth Colony (sometimes New Plymouth or Plymouth Bay Colony) in Massachusetts, an English colonial venture in North America from 1620 to 1691. The first settlement of the Plymouth Colony was at New Plymouth, a location previously surveyed and named by Captain John Smith.
The Pilgrims sailed the Mayflower from England in September 1620. The Mayflower Compact, was marked by a gathering of 41 men on the ship. The settlement’s initially fortification and watchtower was based on what is presently known as Burial Hill.
The brutality of the icy winter months brought on numerous deaths among the Pilgrims. The greater part of the 102 Pilgrims died because of poor sustenance or lodging. In 1621, the Pilgrims imparted a Thanksgiving supper to the Pokanoket, a Native American Indian tribe.
It is my intention for readers to enjoy the historical value of this book and to be informed of the hardship the first settlers endured. The book takes you to another height of mystery, suspense and action. More importantly, it keeps your attention as you solve the crimes of espionage, treason and murder!
