Fighting For Pennsylvania In The Early Years 1763 to 1783: The Story Of Captain Thomas Askey And Lieutenant Richard Gunsalus Of Cumberland County - Paperback

This is a story about the founding of the United States of America. It's a factual story piecing together documents that I have researched on Captain Thomas Askey and Lieutenant Richard Gunsalus, which are over 250 years old at the time I wrote this book. I link their information along with events of the time to document the founding of one of the greatest and most powerful countries in the modern world. These events unfold in the early 1760's towards the end of the French and Indian War. At this point there was no United States of America. It was a grouping of 13 individual Colonies governed by the British, and therefore subjects of the British Crown and King George III. But these Colonies were beginning to join together and growing more independent of their British authority. This growing need for independence fueled the desire to become their own country and birth of what Americans enjoy today.
