a story of Colonial Virginia
Young William Daingerfield longs to follow his father's footsteps as master of Greenfield, gentleman justice of peace for Essex County, and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. Told through the eyes of William and his faithful companion and personal slave, Davy, this family saga describes their lives; childhood and coming of age, loves and marriages, births and deaths, dreams and passions. |

In time, William and Davy's sons go off together to fight the French and their Indians, to protect Virginia's claim to the Ohio River Valley. When they do, no one realizes this will be the last time Red Coats and Blue will fight on the same side. Or, that William and Davy will be among the last generation of Colonial Americans! Cradle of a Nation is a knowledgeably written and historically accurate account of what may have been the life of one man amidst the final days and years of true Colonial Virginia, and is very strongly recommended to all readers with an interest in historical fiction, general fiction, and the founding years of America, just prior to the American Revolution. James Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Midwest Book Review.
