Winner of the Thomas Alva Edison Annual Children’s Book Award for Excellence in Portraying America’s PastThe second book in the Treegate series picks up right whereJohn Treegate’s Musketleft 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).Peter’s two fathers are both jealous and distrustful of each other as well as worlds apart in thought and philosophy, and Peter struggles to be true to both men while also trying to find his own calling.Peter’s personal conflicts are played out against the rich backdrop of the Revolutionary War, where Peter crosses paths with historical figures like George Washington as well as a charismatic new character—Peace of God Manly, a Salem fisherman who has seen the error of his once sinful ways.For Peter and his foster father, there will be imprisonment and daring escapes, as well as the unraveling of a mystery, which began many years before in Scotland at the 1745 Battle of Culloden.“Of all the wars of which I have knowledge, I believe that none was as important for the Western World as the War of the American Revolution. Indeed, I regard it as the most important struggle in the history of Western Man.”—Leonard WibberleyPeter Treegate’s Waris the second in an eight-book series, which makes a great companion to study the Revolutionary War era.Recommended by the Seton Home Study Grade 8.THE TREEGATE BOOK SERIES:Book 1: John Treegate’s MusketBook 2: Peter Treegate’s WarBook 3: Sea Captain from SalemBook 4: Treegate’s RaidersBook 5: Leopard’s PreyBook 6: Manly Treegate Frontiersman (formerly titled Red Pawns)Book 7: The Last BattleBook 8: Apprentice to a RevolutionEach book in the series is complete to itself and can be enjoyed if read in any order.
