Red Coat Brigade

by

<p>On a warm, beautiful sunny day in June 1782, the women and young children of the village of Chester come together to defend their still-fledgling settlement against the invading and much more well-armed Americans. Armed only with their cunning and imagination, this rag-tag group of settlers pushed back the marauding intruders without the loss of a single life. In this fictional account of those events, veteran author Vernon Oickle weaves facts and legend to tell a story that has become part of Nova Scotia’s heritage and folklore.</p>
<p>GRIPPING<br/> “Vernon Oickle brings to life the treacherous privateering and divided loyalties that marked America’s Revolutionary War as it spilled over onto Nova Scotia’s shores. Red Coat is a gripping tale from start to finish, a must read.”<br/> —Glenna Jenkins, author of Somewhere I Belong</p>   <p>THRILLER<br/> “This is an historical thriller of the first order. It is a page turner . . . a book you simply won’t be able to put down.”<br/> Robert Hirtle,  journalist</p>
