Caleb: The Frontier Man

by Jess Browning

Caleb was born in Northern Virginia in the mid-18th century. He lost his innocence when he put his skills to work as a soldier in the Virginia Militia of the Revolutionary Army. He settled in Kentucky with his wife Alcy and family, working a farm as the partner of his old friend from the army, Captain Taliaferro. He finds himself in the middle of an allegiance between those who support Taliaferro and those who support the neighboring Harrison family. Kentucky was one of three counties that still belonged to Virginia. In Kentucky, most people are either backing the Harrisons or are remaining silent. But the danger from outside Taliaferro's camp is nothing compared to the threat within, as Caleb begins to suspect that Taliaferro's woman might not be everything she appears to be. Now Caleb is discovering that he must go to war again. But will it be with the Harrisons, or with his closest friend? Caleb is a descendant of the main character in the non-fiction books "Captain John Browning" that is available in both color and shades of grey. There is also another fictional account of John's private life with narratives in the short story "Captain John." This book, "Caleb", is the fifth volume of a series of short stories that helps to explain the evolution of the European Ancestors of many families that migrated to England and then America. There are a total of six short stories that are also consolidated into two books of three volumes each titled "Anatolia to Britain" and "America's Frontier." The next and last title, in Volume 6 of the series, is titled "Jeb: His Family and History."
