My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Sins of Men: An American Revolutionary War Drama (The Peter Smith Chronicles-American Revolution Historical Fiction series) by Danny J Bradbury. This is such a good book. Its written so well that I felt like I was in the middle of the Revolutionary War! The story begins with Peter Beale who is a from a very poor family in England. Peter ends up stealing food for his large family and ends up in jail. Thru prison he is put in His Majesty’s Navy as a cabin boy under Captain Auger on the HMS Progress. This prison was horrible but Peter’s not too sure this is any better. Peter is assigned to assist the cook, clean the deck and personally bring the Captain his food. When alone with the Captain bad things happen and not just to Peter but all young boys. He eventually escapes from the boat and arrives in America and is adopted by a wealthy family. This book was written so well that I didn’t want to put it down and I zoomed thru it. Such a great historical fictional read!
