Revolutionarywar Stories

The Colony of Connecticut in 1773. Christina O'Donovan's beloved older brother was dead. Her father, a veteran of the French and Indian War, was injured and unable to keep up with the family farm. And so she'd reluctantly agreed to a marriage with a miner who worked at the local Simsbury copper mines. His courtship was a business transaction - nothing more. But when Seth somehow slipped and fell, descending a ladder he'd traversed a thousand times before, Christina was drawn into a maze of subterfuge she never could have imagined coming. And at its center stood William Johnson Crawford, a New Hampshire man who would change her life forever. ... Newgate Prison Copper Mines and the The Irish Lass - A 1700s Colonial America Sweet Romance Novella is a historical series set around the real-life copper mines in Simbsbury, Connecticut. In the late 1700s these mines had been run dry. They were then converted into the infamous Newgate Prison, one of the first federal attempts in the new United States to hold and incarcerate dangerous men. These mines were notorious in their own time, spawning delightfully adjective-rich newspaper write-ups as well as terror amongst the Tories who were threatened with a stay. The history and many characters are as authentic as I can make them. William Johnson Crawford is a documented person from this timeframe. You can read these novellas one at a time as I write them, or you can wait until I finish the boxed set and present the complete story. Some readers prefer to read as I go, while others like to wait. It's wholly up to you which you prefer! Contact me with any questions - I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas! And definitely make plans to visit Newgate when you can. It is an absolutely amazing experience, to descend into those historic copper mines and to feel what it was like.

Just me messing around with history and a time period that interests me greatly.

What if Claire and Jamie's first baby survived and what if it had been a boy. How will the story change? Warning: references to rape but no detail -- May 1744 He wriggles his toes, feeling his environment. He quickly realises how much his surroundings are constricted, his legs are tightly bound and he is being cradled in someone's arms. He opens his eyes and sees a woman leaning over him and realises she must be the one holding them. She's humming softly with a warm and happy smile. He can see that her skin is clammy and there are bruises under her eyes, the eyes that are amber, golden-brown as well as smoky topaz, but that doesn't dim her smile as she gazes upon the person in her arms. She's white and her brown hair surrounds her face in messy curls.

Christina Hale was born to wear silk and smile politely. She loves the gowns, the music, the glittering balls-but she also loves the quiet ink-stained hours spent alone in her father's print shop, a rare inheritance secured under strict conditions: she may indulge her "childhood fancy," but only if she maintains her family's reputation and marries well. Men like Benedict Amherst-wealthy, refined, and ambitious-seem perfectly suited. He works alongside her brother securing shipping contracts for their Loyalist family. His interest in her isn't personal-it's transactional. But when Ethan Tallmadge, a courier for the Continental Army, arrives asking questions about her anonymous column-how it prints tips no one outside Loyalist circles should know-Christina finds herself torn. The words she once wrote in secret for amusement have become belief. And now, she must choose: remain the object they all expect her to be... or become the turncoat no one sees coming.

A group of girls accidentally travels back to the past. However, the information they learn helps them get their perfect grade on the essay. No shipping with the group of girls.

The 'Wrought in Flames' series is set in two periods in time. One, in 2013, follows Jim, a young historian, and his wife Cassie, a school teacher, set out to discover their Revolutionary War ancestors. The other is during the period of the social and political strife of the American Revolution. 'Tyranny Among Us' is the first book in this series. As Jim and Cassie begin their journey through history, the first two years of the American Revolution unfold before their eyes. Meanwhile, in 1774, residents of Northampton County, Pennsylvania are thrust into a war that many don't want. At the center of the conflict is the city of Easton, Pennsylvania; a small frontier town of a little over 300 people, mainly of German descent, whose residents soon realize that the war isn't far away in New England. It has come to their own homes. What will Jim and Cassie find along the way? What can they learn about the families desperately trying to survive on the Pennsylvania frontier in a world torn asunder? How will their ancestors cope with this new and brutal reality? Who will fall along the way? ***Author's Note: I have included a 1775 map of the region in the Media Column to the right of Chapter 1; to view, right-click on the image and copy the image location and paste it in a new tab.*** ***PLEASE VOTE!*** =)

As you may know, I have a book called "Forgotten (A Hamilton x Schuyler!Reader Fanfiction)" in which the reader (a.k.a (Y/N)) takes Eliza's place in the Hamilton narrative. If you haven't read it, I recommend doing that. I recently finished the book, so I'm starting this one. The chapters in "Forgotten" are based off of songs from the musical, but I didn't include songs like First Burn and songs from the mixtape. Here's where I'm going to be writing those. Enjoy! • • • Status: incomplete, chapters will made as requested
