Blood in Alloways Creek

It's the second year of the American Revolution. British and Hessian soldiers occupy Philadelphia. They frequently cross the Delaware River in search of food that they steal and militiamen that they kill. Learn what happens when British Colonel Charles Mawhood threatens to find and eliminate those persons who dare to incite SalemCounty residents into taking up arms and resisting British occupation. He and his soldiers, including men who once were neighbors and who now plunder and kill for the British, accomplish both terrible objectives in Charles Harrison's exciting historical novel Blood in Alloways Creek. Despite the enemy's plundering and killing, some of it very close to their homes, a young couple-Taylor and Rebecca-falls in love, and Harrison tells their story.
