Synopsis

In this tale of the American Revolution, Bryan Hawkins sees his quiet existence as a farmer at Chignecto, Nova Scotia shattered by a rebellion against the British Authorities. Staying true to his Oath to King George III, Hawkins reprises his role from the French and Indian War as a ranger, now battling the revolutionaries, attempting to prevent a possible First Nations revolt and thwarting plots by the French Crown. Rooted in the colonial history of Eastern Canada and mid-coast Maine, this story details many of the actual land and sea battles that rocked Nova Scotia in the late 18th Century.
