About this ebook

The Biggest Heroes are Sometimes Unsung


Caleb's father is serving with Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys as the long-anticipated open war against the British rages up and down the length of Lake Champlain. Between his duties on the family farm and constant worry about his father's safety, the young man's attentions are already fully occupied when a fateful encounter with an unlikely neighbor changes everything. Pulled into new intrigues and new friendships, Caleb finds himself on a path that changes his life - and which will affect the outcome of the whole war.


The Prize is the Vermont volume in the Tales From a Revolution series, in which each standalone novel explores how the American War of Independence unfolds across a different colony or future state. If you like stories such as The Deerslayer, or you’ve ever wondered how the Revolution affected the lives of ordinary people in out-of-the-way corners of America, you’ll love The Prize.


Read The Prize today and see the American Revolution touched people in every corner of the colonies!

YA-only-means-no-gratuitous-erotica, colonial-America, American-rev-war, Vermont, family-dynamics, friendship, historical-figures, historical-places-events, historical-research, historical-setting, history-and-culture***** I love this series as it brings the realities of the time to life in a very personal way. The publisher's blurb is a good hook and the story deserves better than a recap or spoilers. Despite our family's involvement in the military reenactments here in the Northwest Territory, I think that it is important to read about the things about civilian life as well as naval skirmishes that can't be brought to light any other way. I have come to trust the author's diligence in thoroughly researching the factual matters and appreciate the humanization of all of his remarkable characters. As this tale was told through the perspective of a teenaged boy, the narrator this time is Shamaan Casey who is very effective in his interpretations, and has a most compelling voice. Of course I loved it! I won this audio in a giveaway. Yay me!

About the author

Lars D. H. Hedbor is an amateur historian, astronomer, cuckoo clock restorer, fiddler, home brewer, linguist and baker. His fascination with the central question of how the populace of the American Colonies made the transition from being subjects of the Crown to being citizens of the Republic drives him to tell the stories of those people, whether in classrooms, on television, or in the pages of his novels. Hedbor resides in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and an ever-changing cast of children.
