Tale of a Patriot Part One — Grandpa Casey

This is Part # 1 of the novel Tale Of A Patriot. In the late 1700's, when the American Colonies revolted against the British, a farmer's son decided to join Washington's Army. Because of his age, all they offer him is the job of bugler, orderly, or drummer. He wanted to fight. Only the newly authorized Continental Navy would give him that chance. He is with the Continental Marines when they battle the British for the town of Nassau. His enlistment ends while he watches his ship burn in the Boston Harbor.
