Produktbeschreibung
Henry: Prisoner, Patriot, Pioneer is a visceral, character-driven novel set during the American Revolution, following the extraordinary true-life arc of Henry Bush-a fifteen-year-old Pennsylvania farm boy thrust into war, imprisonment, and the slow forging of legacy. The story begins in raw, immediate first person, placing readers inside Henry's body and mind as he survives the horrors of a British prison ship and a brutal escape through enemy territory. By the third chapter, the lens shifts to a close third-person perspective, widening the view to include the lives and emotional burdens of the people around him-fellow militia men, family, and the woman who would become his future. This structure captures not only Henry's evolution, but the deep, resonant cost of a war that reshaped families and futures alike. From the frozen trenches of Brandywine to the moral unraveling of Sullivan's campaign against the Iroquois, Henry is forced to grapple with questions of duty, honor, and what it means to come home. Based on documented ancestral history and told with lyrical precision, Henry is a novel about survival, love, and the silent kind of courage it takes to stay.

With deep ancestral ties to the American Revolution, Cummings draws on years of genealogical research to reimagine the lives of forgotten patriots, including his direct ancestor, Henry Bush. His storytelling approach captures both the visceral brutality of war and the intimate moments that define a life-blending lyrical prose with unflinching realism. Henry: Prisoner, Patriot, Pioneer is his debut novel, the first in a series of historically grounded, emotionally driven works exploring the legacy of American resilience.
