In the eighth book in the Treegate Series on American History, the author takes readers back to the beginning—to the Revolutionary War—with another epic adventure with a new young hero.

In this classic coming-of-age story set during the Revolutionary War, 16-year-old Matt Tyler (a naïve cobbler’s apprentice) unwittingly aids a rebel spy and is forced to slip behind British enemy lines to survive—only to be captured by the Continental Army. His only hope to make it home alive is to find a strength he never knew he had.

Along the way, Matt finds himself caught up in major events of the Revolutionary War—from the Crossing of the Delaware and the Siege of Boston to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.

Apprentice to a Revolution is the eighth book in the series, which makes a great companion to the study of the Revolutionary War era.

“Of all the wars of which I have knowledge, I believe that none was as important for the Western World as the War of the American Revolution. Indeed, I regard it as the most important struggle in the history of Western Man.”—Leonard Wibberley

“Ten years after (the telling of this story), Matt Tyler, now a prosperous Philadelphia cobbler, acts about recording the story of his and his companions’ roles in the Great Liberty War. Lively descriptions of the battle between the Continental Army and the Hercules, clever interpolation of actual and fictional characters, and a strong sense of locale, all act together here to give the young reader a full sense of the times. Matt, the picaresque hero, is likeable, both as a lovelorn apprentice and later, when as a result of his experiences in the war, he emerges a solid and realistic adult.”—Kirkus Review

★★★★★ “Exciting battles on land and sea, generals and spies, a courageous pirate and a cowardly captain, Red Coats and Pennsylvania Riflemen, and a little romance and heartbreak—all figure into this high-spirited tale of America’s struggle for independence.”—Goodreads Review
