The exciting adventures of a real-life powder monkey during the American Civil War
Can James survive the chaos he finds himself in on board the U.S.S. Brooklyn during attacks against Fort Morgan?
James Machon, born in 1848, grew up on ships. During the Civil War, he was a Powder Monkey in the US Navy on the U.S.S Brooklyn.
Amidst rebel gunboats stationed in the immediate vicinity of the cannon fire, he ran from the hold to the deck carrying gunpowder to the men. Cannons and firearms continued shooting at the Brooklyn, and several of James's friends were killed during the battle.
Does James have the courage to remain steadfast at his post and perform his duties during furious action? Can his ship and the seventeen others in their fleet capture Fort Morgan, or are they destined to drown amidst cannon fire and chaos when James's ship, the Brooklyn, is rammed by the C.S.S Tennessee?
This exciting adventure will keep you wanting more of the Teen Warrior Series by Kellie May.
Based on the true story of James Machon
