Red Jacket and The Lump
Bok av Emil Tony Miller
Action and adventure so awesome and fearful ? yet it was real and still verifiable in the lives of many thousands, especially for one of the characters, whose life is traced through 3 of the 4 formative eras of the United States of America following the America Revolution. The eras of the Great American Clipper Ships, the 1849 Gold Rush in California (where the ?American Dream? was born), and the tragic American Civil War, all come into vivid reality at the Historical places and events described.
A deep and abiding mystery runs though one man?s life (even for him) as he is swept up in a prominent part of all these exciting, awesome times as he seemlessly goes from one to the other, making his mark in all three. All is interwoven with a deep, unrequited romance that sustains this struggling American through unimaginable hardships and hard-won victories both personal and historical. Flawed as we all are, he strides through true and actual history to lasting fame. All has long been known, verified and revealed in countless old letters, diaries, old newspaper articles, records and artifacts as still found in the Library of Congress as seen and researched by the Author personally ? an effort that consumed over three years of his life. All comes together in one gripping and amazing ending. Will you be able to solve the mysteries, guess the nature and outcome of the romance - to walk along as a silent observer and see the fearsome tradgedies he must endure, as well as the heights of sublimity that he finally acieves without the fetters of Socialism?
Read and learn true and verifiable history, some you never knew or were taught, while breathlessly being caught up in a vivid, descriptive action packed adventure, as if you were there!
