The Last Battle of the Revolution

"Truly compelling and engaging . . . a story well told about a little-known time in the life of America's first legendary hero and his family." — Darrell Fetty, writer, actor, and Emmy Award-nominated producer of History Channel's Hatfields & McCoys

In the waning days of the Revolutionary War, deep within the perilous territory of Kentucky, a man who'd become a legend in his own time rallies a ragtag band of frontiersmen to protect their families and community from a fierce coalition of elite British Rangers and Indian warriors. That man's name? Daniel Boone.

Based on an astonishing true story, this meticulously researched novel immerses the reader in the unforgiving landscape of 1782 Kentucky where determined settlers struggle to survive in a harsh wilderness fraught with danger and deception. Now, abandoned to fight alone a war most of their countrymen consider over and won, shifting loyalties blur the line between ally and enemy.

Desperate to protect the future they've sacrificed everything to build, Daniel and Rebecca Boone fight to hold their extended family together in the midst of encroaching chaos, even as pride and misunderstanding drive a bitter wedge between Daniel and their eldest son, Israel.

Ride with Daniel Boone on his last great adventure in this gripping tale of survival and war, romance and heartbreak, friendship and betrayal, brought to vivid life through rich detail and memorable characters that propel the story toward the action-packed climax.

From the back of the book:

On October 19, 1781, General Charles Cornwallis surrendered British forces to General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia, effectively ending the Revolutionary War.

Only it didn’t end.

On the frontier, far beyond the cities and towns of the colonies, the war continued, in skirmishes large and small, for months thereafter.

The Battle of Blue Licks occurred on August 19, 1782. This clash on a gently sloping hill in the territory of Kentucky became known as the last battle of the Revolution.

This is that story.
