Redcoat
Redcoat | Bernard Cornwell
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
It is autumn 1777, and the cradle of liberty, Philadelphia, has fallen to the British. Yet the true battle has only just begun. On both sides, loyalties are tested and families torn asunder. The young Redcoat Sam Gilpin has seen his brother die. Now he must choose between duty to a distant king and the call of his own conscience. And for the men and women of the prosperous Becket family, the Revolution brings bitter conflict between those loyal to the crown and those with dreams of liberty. Soon, across the fields of ice and blood in a place called Valley Forge, history will be rewritten, changing the lives and fortunes of these men and women forever.

#1776 isn't a musical I know but would certainly be interested in seeing it, I love history and historical fiction. I have not read many books about the American Revolution (and need to address this), usually have read some that take place at this time in history and refer to it but have only read one book which is about the American Revolution. That book is Redcoat by Bernard Cornwell, I loved that book and gave it 5 stars. #MelodiousMusicals

CrowCAH Heard good things about this author, but have yet to read any. I love the American Revolution time period. I often don‘t get past that in my history lessons lol 7y
Andrew65 @CrowCAH He has got two big series : Sharpe (Napoleonic Wars) and The Warlord Chronicles (Anglo-Saxon England). Do enjoy most of his historical books, he has also written The Fort set during the Revolution Period and has a set of 4 books set in the American Civil War (only read first one of these). (edited) 7y
