About

The man who would prevail in a war for independence came of age not through easy victory but in triumphal defeat. A Blooding at Great Meadows is a unique look at the founding father as a young, inexperienced military leader with many lessons yet to learn but already possessed of the character to learn them.

Reviews

"Informative and readable…The author manages to evoke the period extremely well despite the brevity of his narrative and provides sufficient background to make the events intelligible, not to mention energetic and gripping."
Library Journal
"David Drummond finds the thread and inner logic of Axelrods narrative, and draws together his numerous themes into a compelling and satisfying story. Drummond's brisk, unaffected delivery matches Alexrods unromanticized portrait of the great Founding Father…richness, breadth, and nuance are enhanced in this fine production."
