Captivating Young Male Readers

Captivating Young Male Readers

My goal is to make a strong impact in children's literature by producing engaging and educational books for boys through my Teen Warrior and Teen Patriot series. These books are designed to captivate young male readers with exciting stories rooted in American history, offering a mix of adventure, action, and real-life courage. Titles like They Shot My Drum, Clear The Way, and Gunpowder Warrior introduce readers to brave young protagonists who face incredible challenges during key moments in the nation’s past.

My storytelling not only entertains but also helps boys connect with history in a personal and relatable way. By featuring young male heroes, these series give boys characters they can look up to—figures who show grit, leadership, and a sense of purpose. My books combine strong narratives with educational value, making them an excellent fit for classrooms, homeschool settings, and independent readers who enjoy a good historical adventure.

With the Teen Warrior and Teen Patriot series, my aim is to fill an important niche—delivering high-quality, boy-friendly books that encourage reading while sparking interest in history and heroism.

Really great for girls too.

Asian Immigrants

          It is
impossible to know how many Chinese soldiers fought in the Civil War. At the
time, the census only had three racial categories: white, black, or mulatto. Many
Chinese were classified as white when they enlisted.

About 10 years before the Civil War began,
there was a large influx of Chinese immigrants to the United States, who worked
in gold mines, on farms, and in factories. They were also heavily involved in the
development of the American railroad system. Unfortunately, this caused a lot
of tension between Americans and Chinese immigrants due to ethnic
discrimination.

 

Joseph Pierce

 He was born in Canton, China. His father sold
him to an American sea captain who took him to Connecticut. He grew up working
on a farm. He enlisted on July 26th, 1862. He was part of the 14th Connecticut
Volunteer Infantry. After the Battle of Gettysburg he was promoted to corporal.
This made him the highest-ranking Chinese-American in the Union Army.

After the war, he lived in Meriden,
married an American woman, and worked as an engraver in the Meriden Britannia
Company. He didn’t seem to be involved in any of the veteran organizations
after the war.
