Description

Christopher Hawkins and His Daring Escapes: A Revolutionary War Novel is the true story of a young sailor and patriot in the Revolutionary War. In 1777, the American Revolution is raging, and 12-year-old Christopher Hawkins runs away to join a privateer fighting against England. His ship is captured, but he later escapes from the British. At 17, Christopher again joins a privateer and once more is captured by the British. This time he is sent to the HMS Jersey, the war's deadliest prison ship. Armed with only courage, cunning, and a sense of humor, Christopher Hawkins faces death as he escapes twice more from his captors. This novel is expanded and adapted from Christopher Hawkins' memoir. The main character is the author's 4th great-grandfather. Hawkins' story has been recorded in several texts on the Revolutionary War. This book is for children ages 9-14 and adults.
