Bone rattler series ; 4. Description:  x, 417 pages ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The fourth entry in the Bone Rattler series advances the protagonist Duncan McCallum to 1765 and into the throes of the Stamp Tax dissent, which marked the beginning of organized resistance to English rule. Duncan follows ritualistic murders that are strangely connected to both the theft of an Iroquois artifact and a series of murders and kidnappings in the network of secret runners supporting the nascent committees of correspondence-which are engaged in the first organized political dissent across colonial borders. He encounters a powerful conspiracy of highly placed English aristocrats who are bent on crushing all dissent, is captured by its agents, and sent into slavery in Virginia beside the kidnapped runners. Inspired by an aged native American slave and new African friends Duncan decides not just to escape but to turn their own intrigue against the London lords. Included in the novel's cast of characters are figures from our history who have their own destinies to fulfill in the next decade, including Benjamin Franklin (writing from London), Samuel Adams, the early Pennsylvania rebel James Smith, Dr. Benjamin Rush, and, very briefly, a soft spoken militia officer named Washington. The Song of the Oak takes a fresh view on the birth of the new American nation, suggesting that the "freedom" that became the centerpiece of the Revolution was uniquely American, rising not just from unprecedented political discourse but also from the extraordinary bond with the natural world experienced by frontier settlers and native tribes."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Pattison   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Mystery Pattison   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Pattison   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Mystery Pattison M Checked In Add Copy to MyList
