Captain Hale's Covenant
()
About this ebook
Captain Hale’s Covenant is a family saga about Adam Hale, an American Revolutionary War blockade runner who, with his sons, builds a fortune in trade with France, England, and Jamaica during the Federal Period (1783–1822). The turbulent backdrop is the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic era, featuring Barbary pirates, press gangs, Regency balls, privateers, a slave uprising, duels, the Peninsular Campaign, and pitched naval battles. Thomas E. Crocker’s narrative explores how the family patriarch struggles to achieve a meaningful, personal commitment of civic duty to his country, all the while trying to reconcile evil in the world with an omniscient and loving God. It tells how Americans ventured into the unknown in ships, never knowing if they would come back or what rewards they might reap. It is a story of how every generation struggles. It is the American Experience based on a true story.
