In the summer of 1775, as the American Revolution was still taking shape, a group of frontier riflemen gathered near Shepherdstown, Virginia, and began walking east.

Their destination was Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the American army was forming outside Boston. Their journey would become known as the Bee Line March - a swift and demanding movement from the Potomac country toward the heart of the colonial rebellion.

These men were not polished soldiers marching from a great city. They were farmers, hunters, woodsmen, and riflemen from the edge of the frontier. They came from a world of rivers, mountains, farms, forests, and long roads. When the call came, they answered it with their feet.

The Men Who Walked East tells the story of the Bee Line March in clear, accessible prose, bringing attention to a lesser-known but meaningful episode from the opening months of the Revolutionary War. It follows the men who left Morgan's Spring, crossed difficult country, and carried with them not only long rifles, but also a spirit of endurance, resolve, and independence.

This is a book about movement, sacrifice, and the ordinary men who helped carry history forward one step at a time.
