Redcoat

I Think this book is more for a modern auidience. It follows A young British Redcoat named Sam Galpin and his brother Nate. It is set in Autum 1777 During the revolutionary war. I like this book because it is historic and i love history books the best thing is it is full of action right from the begining. The First page says this" The bloodybacks stole through warm darkness to the killing. a hidden moon silverd chasms of cloud and offered a wan glow which silhouetted the jagged spikes of the pine tops on the western horizon. The eastern sky was unclouded; a pit of blackness studded with the clean brightness of stars. The paths beneath the trees  were dark, utter dark, a blackness in which long files cursed softly."  Again if you want to look at this book its called "Redcoat."

  1. Good start, Michael. Remember, you need 250 words to meet the minimum requirement. Maybe you could spend some time analyzing some of the characters or maybe telling us a bit about how the historical setting affects the plot?
