John Treegate's Musket (Book 1)

An epic historical adventure that takes young readers from The Boston Massacre to the Battle of Bunker Hill.

When young Peter Treegate is framed for murder while his father is away on business, Peter is forced to flee Boston on a smuggler's brig, sending him on a series of adventures on the high seas and across the untamed lands of the Carolinas that will challenge everything his father ever taught him to believe about England, America, and the impending Revolutionary War.

Peter Treegate's War (Book 2)

Winner of the Thomas Alva Edison Annual Children's Book Award for Excellence in Portraying America's Past.

The second book picks up right where John Treegate's Musket left off--following both the events of the American War for Independence and 16-year-old Peter's clash of loyalty to his real father, John Treegate, and to his foster father, the Maclaren of Spey (a Scottish clansman).

Sea Captain from Salem (Book 3)

An American Library Association Notable Children's Book.

In the third book, Leonard Wibberley paints an exciting and authentic picture of this neglected but critical chapter in the Revolutionary War, mixing real historical figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and the Earl of Sandwich with the fiery, cunning, and devout sea captain from Salem.

Treegate's Raiders (Book 4)

A William Allen White Children's Book Award Nominee.

The fourth book follows Peter Treegate and the sea captain Peace of God Manly through the final years of the Revolutionary War as Peter--now a grown man--leads a band of Carolina mountain men though a series brutal engagements fought in the southern colonies from 1780 to the final surrender of the British at Yorktown in August 1781.

Leopard's Prey (Book 5)

In this first of a new Treegate trilogy, we see the Napoleonic War between the French and the English War and the events leading up to the American War of 1812 through the eyes of 12-year-old Manly Treegate, an orphan growing up in the home of his uncle Peter Treegate in Salem, Massachusetts.

Manly, an American citizen, is captured and forced to serve on the British frigate Leopard in 1807. He experiences the cruelties of life in the British navy and sees action in several battles as a powder boy before falling overboard during a battle against a French warship off the coast of Haiti.

Manly Treegate Frontiersman (Book 6)

"Outstanding book for young readers."--Junior Literary Guild

While their uncle is in England trying to avert war, 18-year-old Manly Treegate and his 12-year-old brother, Peter, go to the Ohio frontier to prepare for war with the British-backed multi-tribal confederation led by a Native American Shawnee warrior named Tecumseh in what would become known as the Battle of Tippecanoe.

The Last Battle (Book 7)

In final book in the series, Leonard Wibberley concludes his epic saga of the Treegate family during the War of 1812.

Manly Treegate has become captain of the brig Wild Duck in the young United States Navy. He has orders to seize any British shipping sighted in West Indian waters--and he does so with the help of his old friend Gubu, leader of a band of pirates. Among Manly's crew is young Peter Treegate, who often chafes under the discipline of a captain who happens to be his older brother but who is also determined to follow the family tradition of service.
