A soldier in the American Revolution must struggle for his country’s
existence and its most precious ideals—even though it means fighting
against his commanding officers In 1781, Jamie Stuart is a
twenty-three-year-old soldier serving amongst Jews, free slaves,
Catholics, Native Americans, and others grouped together in a
“Foreign Brigade.” They are part of a larger Pennsylvania Line
that is forced to fight without pay, re-enlist without end, and
survive without basic provisions. Enslaved and abused, Stuart and his
friends join the mutiny of the entire Pennsylvania Line against its
officers, holding their superiors accountable to the principles
promised by their developing nation. In The Proud and the Free,
Fast brilliantly imagines a forgotten moment in American history that
marked one of the nation’s earliest struggles for freedom against
tyranny. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard
Fast including rare photos from the author’s estate.
