More to the point of this story, what was it like for a young thirteen year old farm boy to grow up on Long Island during that seven year occupation? The Youngest Patriot is the story of just such a young boy.
Elijah pleads with Tallmadge to take him with him so that he can join the army and fight for his country. Tallmadge tells him he is too young. Elijahs father forbids him to even try to enlist. Defying them both he runs away from home and goes to Brooklyn Heights where Washingtons army is building fortifications against the impending British invasion.
Through a series of events, Elijah does indeed become a soldier and his life intertwines with that of Benjamin Tallmadge. The tale of these seven years as Elijah becomes a man, has as its backdrop the exciting American revolution; our fight for liberty and independence. Tallmadge and Elijah become very much a part of the Culper spy ring set up by General Washington. A secret message would run full circle, if you will, from Oyster Bay to New York City by courier, by horseback out to Setauket, and by whaleboat across the Long Island Sound to Connecticut.
The saga of Nathan Hale is told as seen through the eyes of those who knew him and it was the Culper spy ring that first uncovered the plot which exposed and brought disgrace to Benedict Arnold. The narrative tells of George Washingtons frustration as he keeps hope for freedom alive as he repeatedly evades contact with the British until his initial victories at Trenton and Princeton.
This is the story of the most important American war as seen through the eyes of a young boy from Setauket as he grows to manhood. His fears, anxieties, troubles, memories, and battles for the young republic culminate with Elijah receiving the Purple Heart designed and awarded by General Washington.

I guess though we all have to make do with what we have. At least I have a few friends that don't totally have their head in the sand on this kind of thing Rawles, I truly enjoyed your book. The only suggestion that I would make would be to set up your web page so you could download the entire book with one click instead of multiple ones. Other than that, I found it fascinating. I stayed up until to finish it It was interesting to read about you. I would guess that you are a practicing survivalist.
There aren't too many of us that are practicing. Everyone that I meet that claims to be a survivalist is more interested in expanding their gun collection and in being a Rambo wannnabe than in actually preparing.
Sure, they may have 10, rounds of ammo but they have minimal food, no medicine, no commo, no tools, and no skills outside their guns. Then they stare at me incredulously when they discover the size of my garden, the goats and rabbits, and the distance I drive to work every day. I would much rather talk about welding and butchering hogs than the ballistic capabilities of the latest 40 caliber Glock.
And its not that I don't like guns, I do. I like them a lot, buy there is a lot more to surviving a stormy future than hot lead. As you have probably figured out, I haven't found or established a group around here, and am frustrated by it. I will be leaving North Carolina and the Army this summer, and I plan to move to a better place, survival wise Thank you for the knowledge that I gained from the book.
I have just started in the last 6 months to get in the "survivor's mindset," and am very happy that I have. About a month ago we had a hurricane come through South Alabama. The area around here was without power for about a week, and the "authorities" cold not even get back here to us, since they had so much else to do. By the time they did, they found my house, my in-laws house, and a friends house all running off a make-shift power system supplied by my generator , and that we had cleared all the roads around us of trees.
The power guys knocked on the door where we were watching TV and eating some supper, and said, thinking they were our saviors, "We don't mean to disturb you folks, but we are here to restore your power. I have, as I'm sure some of you have as well, had someone say "I'm heading over to your place if the big one hits". I usually laugh politely and change the subject, but I have no doubt that at least one of them would do just that.
If everything goes as I plan I won't be there when they come knocking, but since when does anything go as planned? Where do you draw the line between common decency and total survival? Does it make better sense to get involved early on to rally your community in the event of a disaster to better your overall chances or is this all just a bunch of sentimental BS that will only serve to get me in killed when people's true natures are revealed after the veneer of civilization is stripped away?
It is just human nature for them to head "down the road to the piggy who built his house of brick With a price that low, you have no excuse for not having several hundred pounds on hand. Deciding which folks to shelter semi-permanently, and which to just re-supply and send on their way is one of the great imponderables.
If all you have is the bare minimum to supply your own family or retreat group, you won't be in any position to dispense charity. Those same relations that arrive without any food will probably need bedding and toiletries.
Stock up. And as long as those folks are there, they should be expected to work. That means extra gardening tools and lots of heavy leather work gloves in various sizes. They can also at the very minimum be extra "eyes and ears" for security. Buy a couple of extra rifles with all the normal accoutrements for them, too. Full sets of web gear, extra magazines, plenty of ammo, and cleaning kits for each gun. In a localized natural disaster, I recommend maximum community involvement from the outset and dispensing as much charity as possible.
In that sort of scenario, there is almost full assurance that order will be restored within a few weeks and that you will have the opportunity to replenish your supplies. In a more severe and widespread scenario, I recommend keeping a very low profile in the first few months, until the riots die down and the inevitable roving bands get thinned out.
Dispense charity as much as possible, but with the understanding that you'll have NO way of knowing how long the disruption will last, and that it may be YEARS before a functioning regional economy will develop to the point where you can barter to restock your bulk food supplies. But again, as supplies permit, give generously. This was the philosophy that I tried to impart in my Internet shareware novel. The bottom line is that only those with deep larders will have the time available to restore the local government infrastructure.
Nearly everyone else will be too busy worrying about where they are going to find their next meal. As a well prepared survivalist, you should consider it your duty to step forward and restore constitutional law and order when the time is right.
If you don't, the local thugs will fill the power vacuum with their own brand of "justice. I was wondering where you all thought the best place to have a retreat is and why. I was thinking up in Alsaka since it woudnt be to out of ordinary to have a lot of supplies and since theres lots of area there. Any and all opinions welcomed Jim's Reply: My humble recommendations: 1.
Refer first to the "the lights of the United States at night" composite satellite imagery photos. A picture is worth a thousand words. This is a great starting point in researching potential retreat locales. I'd strongly advise concentrating your search west of the Mississippi. Look for the areas where the lights aren't much bigger than pinheads, and where there are no big blobs of light metro areas anywhere nearby.
Once you've correlated poulation density, look at climate and annual precipitation. Avoid high elevations where growing seasons are short and where you have to cut a lot of firewood.
Avoid low precipitation areas that are dependent on electrically pumped irrigation water. Once the power grid goes down, those areas will be SOL.
