About the Pack: This pack contains the 3 books from the Drums of War Series
Independence (Book 1)
The sleeping citizens of Williamsburg, Virginia, are shocked awake
by the shouts of the night watchman and the firing of his pistol.
"They're stealing our powder! The British are stealing our powder!"
Soon the whole town learns that Lord Dunmore, Governor of
Virginia, sent British marines to steal gunpowder from the town's
public magazine, gunpowder stored there for the defense of the Virginia
Colony!
Thus begins an exciting series of books set in the turbulent days
of the American Colonies' war for Independence. Fourteen-year-old
Andrew Hendricks and his friend Nathan grow to manhood during the
desperate struggle to preserve the thirteen colonies' social, political
and religious liberties. The boys and their sisters meet great leaders
of the cause and learn the principles for which our forefathers took up
arms and pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
Bunker Hill (Book 2)
In April of 1775, the British Government ordered its armies to
disarm the citizen military forces in the North American Colonies.
British troops invaded the Massachusetts countryside, fired on the
Lexington militiamen and began to burn patriot supplies. But militia
companies from surrounding counties and colonies rushed to repel the
invaders. As Britain amassed armies and ships from around its empire
and hired thirty thousand German soldiers to subdue the colonies,
General Howe ordered a surprise attack on the American militia
besieging troops in Boston.
Andrew Hendricks and Nathan Edwards found themselves caught up in
the American move to fortify Bunker Hill and forestall the British
offensive. The War for American Independence had begun!
Captive in Williamsburg (Book 3)
The Continental Congress has chosen George Washington as Commander
of the American militia regiments to confront the British army which
occupies Boston. Virginia has sent her finest militia rifle regiments
and many supplies to help free the city from British military rule.
But now Virginia herself is threatened with British invasion. Her
former governor, Lord Dunmore has formed a fleet to attack coastal
towns and blockade her shipping. He has sent agents to incite Indian
tribes against her western border.
Andrew Hendricks rides in haste with messages from Williamsburg to
Virginia's second regiment which is facing British forces at Stone
Bridge, near Suffolk. The battle here could well determine whether
Virginia shall gain her freedom or become totally enslaved to British
rule.
