Weavers of the Land - Paperback

by Judy McCall Chester (Author)

Experience the romantic journey of Robert and Kate from the land of Ireland to America as the Revolutionary War unfolds. Life presents adventures and challenges for the newlyweds. King George III commissions Robert McCall, a young weaver, to design a royal tablecloth. The cloth incorporates the American eagle, which insults the King, resulting in a beheading order for the weaver. Robert, a stowaway in a potato barrel, along with the king's daughter, escapes to America. A stalwart patriot serving beside General George Washington, Colonel McCall, declares to all that he is helping to weave the threads of a new republic.
