Married To My Sword, is a comprehensive account of a family that struggled, triumphed, and overcome so many obstacles in the founding of this great country we call, the United States of America, it will bring to life the family formation, the importance of the planters,(the owners of the large plantations of the time), the relationships of signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the forming, undoing, and reforming of our great Constitution and Amendments. It is not a dry, or boring, account of history, but a warm, exciting, sexy, funny, and shocking, account of our history, told through letters, accounts, and family folklore. You will walk with me, through the pages of history, recalling memories and tales, you will visit homes that are now historical sites, many of which you can tour for yourself. There are births, deaths, marriages, family highs and lows, you will see for the first time the financial burdens the young founders and early planters faced, they took on financing the Revolutionary War, for there were no Government budgets, no wartime budgets, mainly because there were no taxes collected for our flowering country. I have accounted for the seven tea parties, that took place, one of them carried out by very brave and determined women, so thorough that they also dumped all the tea that was being illegally sold in shops along the water front. This book deals with some dark slavery, including the White, Chinese, and Irish people that were slaves. It deals with the, never talked about, education of Black Slaves on the plantation. The gardens and farm animals the slaves could own, trade, and eat. Often plantation children traded chicks and ducklings with the slave children, allowing "new" blood in thier breeding programs, like an early 4-H program if you wish. Light Horse Harry Lee had to use his own riches to finance uniforms, weapons, horses, and food for his some 350 troops, like so many other planters and officers, did at the time, the sacrifice was great for the plantation owners, it tells of the struggle on the home front how they stored caches of food, arms, and survival needs for the owners and the slaves. The extent they went to, to protect their homes, and properties, it also tells of the input of information owners gained from their slaves, and how the slaves voluntarily helped at this time of need, and survival. As the war comes to the halfway mark, Hery has not been home for some time, and General Washington, insisted he take a well-earned break, he visited his family and of course, his love, Matilda. He returns to the battlefield after only 3 weeks. That winter Light Horse realized he had not received orders from Gen, George Washington, and started inquiring of his whereabouts. He was to flee to Valley Forge and re-supply there, but things had gone terribly wrong, a wrong that was corrected by Light Horse and his men, saving the future President from certain death. As the war was ending, Light Horse Harry could return home and to his beloved Devine Matilda, safe in her arms al last.
