Sumner's Journey

About Sumner's Journey

The revolutionary war in the Southern colonies at its most raw Sumner's Journey chronicles the path of farmer turned soldier, Gabriel Sumner, from the Battle of Cowpens through Guilford Court House, two of the Revolutionary War's most important battles, as well as the Race to the Dan River, one of the Revolutionary War's bloodiest campaigns. Dissect the strategy and relive the savagery of the fighting during the many scrimmages of that campaign, fighting which often devolved into hand-to-hand combat. March with Gabriel and his men as they endure cold, hunger, and supply shortages while facing off against Banestre "Bloody Ban" Tarleton and the might of Lieutenant General Charles Lord Cornwallis's army. Reminding one and all of the sacrifices bore by the common soldier to secure our freedom from England. Be with Gabriel as he is transformed from farmer and simple soldier to an officer in the 1st Maryland Infantry enduring the prejudice of being raised from the ranks. Follow his transformation from rejected figure to the regiment's most revered officer. Sumner's Journey is a must-read for anyone wishing to learn about our struggle for independence.
