Gabriel Brower never cared much for history. But as he faces the greatest crisis in his life, he is suddenly confronted, not just by historical reality, but by the face of history itself, which literally steps into his living room in the form of William Kinney, a soldier of the American Revolution and a man allegedly dead for 150 years. Through a series of extraordinary circumstances, William begins to tell a story about a quest to find his great lost love, Sallie, and the amazing gift she gave him. Within these tales, he unveils long dead secrets about friendship and love and war and death, that the greatest enigmas regarding life on this planet are revealed in the simple expressions of Creation and the stories of everyday people. Come on a journey into the distant, eternal past as it opens an unforeseen window into boundless infinity. Experience the mystery, the madness, the triumph and the redemption. Witness the Liberty Man.
Brad Livengood has never been one to discontinue a quest. Much of his life has been dedicated to digging and discovery, whether in musty archives, within his own experience, or sometimes in just plain old dirt, seeking answers in the artifacts of the past. This sometime blogger and columnist from Thomasville, North Carolina uses these inquiries to tell stories, echoes that whisper of a past that not only doesn't fade away, but shouts at we in the present like a Greek Chorus. Liberty Man, his first novel based upon events in the American Revolution is one such story.
