Frenchmen and Long Knives

Patriots of the American Revolution Series, Book Three

De: Geoff Baggett

Narrado por: Zach NeSmith

Pierre Grimard’s dream was to leave his boyhood home in France and voyage to America. He longed to begin a new life, business, and family in the French settlements of the faraway frontier in the Illinois country. Ten years later it seemed that Pierre had fulfilled every one of his dreams. He had a beautiful, devoted wife, a home full of children, and a thriving business in the French trading outpost at Vincennes on the Wabash River.

Then in the winter of 1778 this tiny, primitive village became the epicenter of a bloody struggle between the powerful armies of Great Britain and the rebels of the American Revolution. Colonel George Rogers Clark of Virginia and his ragtag army of frontier riflemen, the Long Knives, occupied Vincennes and its fort in an effort to eliminate the British influence on the Native Americans in the Northwest. But the British would soon return … and with a vengeance.

Frenchmen and Long Knives is the unique story of a small band of French settlers and frontiersmen who swore an oath to Virginia and chose to become Patriots and soldiers in the struggle to give birth to a new nation.

Wow

My son and I listened to this together. What a great story! During the battles we were on the edge of our seats. I would say more, but I do not want to give any spoilers. We both highly recommend this book and the entire series!

Excellent!

Very interesting Listen about the early History of our Country and the things leading up to our Independance from England.

Please continue this series

This for me is the best one so far. The journey from New Orleans to Vincennes.not at that point directly related to the Revolution but would enter their lives and change their world. One of the lesser known parts of the war. Have one more book in this series to read and hoping that Mr.Baggett will keep adding on to these wonderful stories.
