Riassunto

The second book in the Treegate series picks up right where John Treegate’s Musket left off—following both the events of the American War for Independence and 16-year-old Peter’s clash of loyalty to his real father, John Treegate, and to his foster father, the Maclaren of Spey (a Scottish clansman). Peter’s two fathers are both jealous and distrustful of each other, and worlds apart in thought and philosophy, and Peter struggles to be true to both men while also trying to find his own calling. Peter’s personal conflicts are played out against the rich backdrop of the Revolutionary War, where Peter crosses paths with historical figures like George Washington as well as a charismatic new character—Peace of God Manly, a Salem fisherman who has seen the error of his once sinful ways. For Peter and his foster father, there will be imprisonment and daring escapes, as well as the unraveling of a mystery, which began many years before in Scotland at the 1745 Battle of Culloden. Recommended in Seton Home Study Grade 8, Seton Home Study Grade Peter Treegate’s War it the second in a seven-book series, which makes a great companion to a study of the Revolutionary War era.
