A Captive in Williamsburg (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798726752303)

The Continental Congress has chosen George Washington of Virginia as Commander of the American militia regiments to confront the British army which occupies Boston, Massachusetts. Virginia has sent her finest militia rifle regiments and many supplies to help free the city from British military rule.But now Virginia herself is threatened with invasion! Her former British governor, Lord Dunmore, has formed a fleet to attack Virginia's coastal towns and blockade her shipping. He has sent agents to incite the Indian tribes against her western border. He is also fortifying Norfolk as a base for invading and subduing Virginia to the King's rule, thus extinguishing her historic civil and religious liberties.

Andrew Hendricks rides in haste with messages from Williamsburg to Virginia's second regiment which is facing British forces at Stone Bridge, near Suffolk. The battle here could well determine whether Virginia shall gain her freedom or become totally enslaved to British rule.
