      The American Revolution Begins Here!

      Picture
      Have you ever thought that what we need in America today is a second Revolution? Are you concerned about the ongoing assault on our freedoms? Then return to a tumultuous era of rebellion against tyranny. Encounter the real heroes who sacrificed everything to win our independence. Rediscover the great vision, ideals, and principles on which our nation was founded. For America's future . . . 

      Reignite the Revolution!

      The only comprehensive historical fiction series on the American Revolution, the American Patriot Series by J. M. Hochstetler sweeps readers into a tumultuous world of revolution. Beginning in April 1775, Daughter of Liberty by J. M. Hochstetler sets in motion the thrilling saga that follows Elizabeth Howard and Jonathan Carleton as they face the devastation and triumphs of war—from the American colonists’ first armed confrontation with the British to the spreading inferno along the frontiers of Indian territory, through the battles raging in the Middle and Southern colonies and on the high seas, and at last to the final, decisive assault at Yorktown.

      In this vivid retelling of our nation’s founding, the actual historical events, including the real British and colonial leaders who provided the catalyst for them, and breathtaking moment-by-moment recreations of pivotal battles converge with two compelling characters in a suspense-filled story of espionage, intrigue, and romance. On the ruins of war and loss, Elizabeth Howard and Jonathan Carleton will build an enduring legacy of love, hope, faith—and freedom!

      The header is a detail view of John Trumbull's painting Declaration of Independence, which portrays the drafting committee presenting their draft of the Declaration to the Second Continental Congress on June 28, 1776. The painting was commissioned in 1817, purchased in 1818, and placed in the United States Capitol Rotunda in 1826. Trumbull painted many of the figures from life and visited Independence Hall to depict the chamber accurately. Forty-two of the 56 signers are depicted in addition several who declined to sign.

      The painting in the article is Peter F. Rothermel's "Patrick Henry Before the Virginia House of Burgesses," which depicts Patrick Henry's "If this be treason, make the most of it!" speech against the Stamp Act of 1765.
