The White Cockade

A Novel of the American Revolution

By: Mark James Miller

Narrated by: Ray Montecalvo

The first shots of the American Revolution. The battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. The British major at Lexington shouting, “Disperse, you damned rebels!” The American colonel at Bunker Hill calmly saying, “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!”

The White Cockade is the story of the early days of the American Revolution and of the men and women caught up in it: Josiah, who doesn’t want war but can’t escape it. Hugo, once Josiah’s best friend but now his bitter enemy. Mercy, who dreams of marrying Josiah. Walter, eager to fight the British. Alice, whose desperate love for Josiah knows no limits. Tarleton, the roguish, womanizing British officer. Patrick, who can solve the most complex mathematical equations while living in his own world.

This is the story of people caught in historical forces that will change their lives.

A step back in time

The description of the the British march from Lexington and Concord,the fighting on Breeds and Bunker Hill. The narrator was just ok but at times sounded like somebody’s imitation of a ham actor. Hoping that Audible does the second book in the series.

Great overall novel

Really loved this book. MJM’s take on this part of the American Revolution is wonderfully written and following the story of the Hartford family keeps you wanting more. Looking forward to the sequel The Summer Soldiers.
