November Indie Next Pick: Freeman Walker
Freeman Walker by David Allan Cates is a November Indie Next Pick! Here’s what Barbara Theroux of Fact & Fiction in Missoula, MT had to say about it:
Armed with his ‘free’ papers and a copy of the Declaration of Independence, seven-year-old Jimmy Gates is sent to England for an education by his owner-father. After his father dies, the schooling ends, as Jimmy becomes an apprentice, learning life’s lessons from prostitutes and revolutionaries. Taking a new name, Freeman Walker grows into manhood on the battlegrounds of the Civil War and his adventures tell us much about freedom and bring home the message that ‘freedom isn’t free.
