Bøger i Barlow serien

Sometimes a man has to risk all he cherishes for God and country. He had fought and bled for his country. He had been a war hero and a congressman. He had battled the southern Nullifiers to keep the young United States from splintering. He was the right-hand man of President Andrew Jackson. But now Timothy Barlow has put aside his uniform to lead an easier life on a sprawling Georgia plantation, married to a beautiful Southern belle. With his public service behind him, Barlow intends to spoil the woman he loves, raise a family, and live in peace and prosperity. But yet another war is brewing. Mexico, Britain and France have eyes on the fledgling Republic of Texas and U.S. President Polk will have none of that. The country needs its heroes once again, and Barlow reluctantly dusts off his uniform for one last hurrah. A ROUSING HISTORICAL NOVEL, THE FINAL ENTRY IN THE POPULAR BARLOW TRILOGY WHICH INCLUDES THE LONG HUNTERS AND WAR LOVERS.

For one American hero, war brings the ends of innocence... In 1814 the U.S. Army is not much more than a ragtag collection of brave men and boys bound by blood, duty, and more than a little luck. The army's commander, Andrew Jackson, has turned his attention from the waning British threat to a conflict closer to home. "Old Hickory" hopes to capture and punish the Red Stick Creek Indians responsible for murdering American long hunters caught on their home soil. Lieutenant Timothy Barlow has just graduated from West Point, full of fine ideals, long on knowledge, but woefully short of experience. In Indian country, this combination could prove fatal. Barlow performs heroically at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, but when he is ordered to pillage a peaceful Indian camp, his conscience gets the better of him. Then his troops take matters into their own hands and Barlow has to find a way to preserve his honor, justify Andy Jackson's faith in him, and survive what will be known as the First Seminole War. THE FIRST IN A THRILLING NEW TRILOGY OF THE EARLY AMERICAN FRONTIER THAT INCLUDES THE FIRE-EATERS AND THE WAR LOVERS, BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FLINTLOCK AND HIGH COUNTRY.

IT IS A SOLDIER'S DUTY TO FOLLOW ORDERS, EVEN IF HE QUESTIONS THEM...He had earned a hero's reputation in young America's early wars. Timothy Barlow fought with Andrew Jackson against the Creek and Seminole Indians and was instrumental in keeping the Cherokees allied with the American cause during the conflict. But now President Jackson needs to forge alliances with the leaders of the Southern states and agrees to sign a bill declaring that all Cherokee land in Georgia-land on which gold has been found-no longer belongs to the Indians. Morally opposed to this course of action, Barlow struggles with his honor and his conscience. He must obey his commander-in-chief and attempt to persuade his Cherokee friends to abandon their land peacefully-or face extinction. But violence is bound to break out, and Timothy Barlow will be forced to choose sides. THE SECOND IN THE POPULAR TIMOTHY BARLOW TRILOGY THAT INCLUDES THE LONG HUNTERS AND WAR LOVERS BY THE AUTHOR OF SUCH CLASSICS AS FALCONER'S LAW AND APACHE SHADOW.
