Overview

*** Child Study Association Book of the Year Award Winner ***

An epic historical adventure that takes young readers from The Boston Massacre to the Battle of Bunker Hill...

The year is 1769, and wealthy merchant John Treegate is a solid citizen of Boston, who is loyal to his British King. John has taught his eleven-year-old son Peter to be loyal too, and wanting nothing more than his father's approval, Peter always does as told.

But when his father is called back to England on business, Peter is left behind and apprenticed to a maker of barrel staves. Alone and feeling abandoned, Peter experiences the hardships of Boston's working class citizens for the first time.

When Peter is framed for murder and with no father at home to protect him, Peter is forced to flee Boston on a smuggler's brig, sending him on a series of adventures on the high seas and across the untamed lands of the Carolinas that will challenge everything his father ever taught him to believe about England, America, and the impending Revolutionary War...

"Of all the wars of which I have knowledge, I believe that none was as important for the Western World as the War of the American Revolution. Indeed, I regard it as the most important struggle in the history of Western Man."--Leonard Wibberley

John Treegate's Musket is the first in a seven-book series, which makes a great companion to study the Revolutionary War era.

Recommended reading in the Seton Home Study Guide for Grade 8.
