The Young mode Frontiersman (Flintlock Sagas The) by Alan W. Harris NEUF

Alan Harris is a practicing veterinarian living near Columbia, South Carolina, where he and Valerie, his wife of over forty years, make their home. They have six children whom they homeschooled for twenty-seven years, a growing host of beautiful grandchildren, whom they adore,...and a pug.Alan was motivated to write when he desired to share an exciting story, not just to entertain his children, but to also teach them important character and spiritual lessons. It became clear that the tale needed to be very suspenseful, and the characters had to be engaging and fun, in order to keep his children interested. The results were The Tales of Larkin series, which has five books. You can find out more about them as well as how to use them to teach at .In searching for other subjects about which to write, Alan discovered a book in the public domain by Joseph Altsheller called The Young Trailer. He liked the time period, setting, and some of the concepts in the story, but it lacked a spiritual message. Basing his work on the things he liked, Alan crafted a new story, changing the plot and many of the characters, as well as giving it a biblical world view. And as in all of Harriss stories, he included plenty of adventure, lots of laugh-out loud humor, and abundant opportunities to learn character and spiritual lessons. It is Alans prayer that his new series, The Flintlock Sagas, and this first book in that series, The Young Frontiersman, will not only entertain his readers but also help them grow in godly character and draw them closer to God the Father and His Son, King Jesus.
