This book chronicles 18 months in the life of sixteen-year-old Thomas Young who lived and fought in South Carolina during America's revolution. All but one of the main characters were real people, however the dialog in most instances was created. The dialog is based on knowledge gleaned from their personal histories, memoirs, pension records, and from research about the significant Revolutionary War events in which they participated.Thomas Young and his family and friends represent an exemplary display of sacrifice, courage, and determination in their pursuit of liberty for themselves and generations to follow.The southern colonies during 1780 and 1781 were thrust into a civil war between those loyal to Great Britain and those who sought independence from the crown. No one could straddle the fence on this fundamental issue. People lived in an environment of neighbor against neighbor, congregation against congregation, and sometimes brother against brother. It is against this backdrop that Thomas Young made his decision to fight for the liberation of his new country, the United States of America.The southern campaign of the Revolutionary War has been under emphasized by historical writers and it is hoped this work will help readers, especially young ones, develop a greater appreciation for the southern Partisans in particular and for all Patriots in general.
