Patriot Colonel: The Life & Times of Francis Locke (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218849993)

A Historical Novel of the American Revolution

Step into the heart of the American Revolution through the eyes of Colonel Francis Locke, a forgotten hero whose courage helped shape the nation's destiny. Born in Northern Ireland in 1722 and raised on the frontier of colonial America, Locke's story spans from humble beginnings as a farmer to his rise as a respected patriot officer in the fight for independence.

As tensions rise between colonists and the British Crown, Locke leads daring raids and commands troops in pivotal battles of the U.S. Revolutionary War, standing firm against Loyalist forces and the British army. Through hardship and triumph, one thing remains constant-his steadfast love for his wife Anna and his devotion to family, freedom, and faith.

Rich in Revolutionary War history and inspired by true events, Patriot Colonel: The Life & Times of Francis Locke brings to life the untold saga of a man who embodied the American spirit long before the birth of the United States. From the fields of North Carolina to the battlefronts of the South, this sweeping historical fiction novel captures the grit, honor, and sacrifice of an ordinary man who became an extraordinary patriot.

Fans of David McCullough's 1776, Jeff Shaara's Rise to Rebellion, and Joseph J. Ellis's Founding Brothers will be captivated by this authentic tale of courage and conviction during America's fight for freedom.
