Sinopse
THE DARING ESCAPES OF CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS is an amazing true story of a young sailor during the American Revolution.
**For listeners of all ages**
The Revolutionary War is raging, and 12-year-old Christopher Hawkins runs away to follow his dream of being a sailor and a patriot. During his first sea adventure, the British capture his ship. Quick-witted Christopher escapes at his first opportunity. At 17, Christopher joins another American privateer ship but is soon captured by the British. This time, he is delivered to the notorious British ship HMS Jersey, the war’s deadliest prison. Armed with only courage, cunning, and a sense of humor, Christopher Hawkins will face death unless he can escape from his British captors twice more.
This novel and tale of survival is adapted and expanded from author Becijos’ great-great-great-great-grandfather’s oft-quoted memoir.
