Our Lives, Our Fortunes: Continuing the Account of the Life and Times of Geoffrey Frost, Mariner, of Portsmouth, in New Hampshire, as Faithfully ... (Hardscrabble Books-Fiction of New England)
Fender continues the exciting Geoffrey^BFrost saga with an all new Revolutionary War-era adventure. Frost, the dashing^Bmariner-turned-privateer returns to New Hampshire with a treasure trove of food and arms he has captured from the British. Learning that Washington and his troops are languishing in Pennsylvania, suffering from both low morale and a lack of supplies, he resolves to organize an expedition to transport his booty to the physically and spiritually impoverished Continental Army. Since the British control the coastal waters, the ever-resourceful Frost leads his men on a dangerous overland mission, proving that he is as adept on land as on the sea. Assisting Washington in the daring crossing of the Delaware River, Frost and company eagerly join in the battle for Trenton. Although considerably less^Bsalty than the previous two entries in this series, fans of seafaring fiction will still enjoy this action-packed tale.Margaret FlanaganCopyright © American Library Association.
