Based upon the diary of one of General George Washington's staff officers, The Waterman recounts the seemingly impossible transport of fifty-nine cannons three hundred miles over land and water from Ft. Ticonderoga to Boston in the dead of winter 1776. These cannons gave General Washington the missing artillery he desperately needed for his stunning first victory over the invincible British forces. During this two-month heroic exploit, facing ferocious weather and daring attacks by ruthless British spies, the story's protagonist, Continental Navy Lieutenant Dan Saunders perseveres with cunning and audacious courage. Together with his loyal compatriot, Paul Williams, a former pirate and slave, the pair led a ragtag crew of volunteers to prevail and turn the tide in one of young America's most inspirational, early milestones in the fight for independence.

Take one small town fisherman, add in a tragic accident and mix in a longing for something more and you have the beginnings of Daniel Saunder's adventure as a Revolutionary patriot. During his adventure, he meets George Washington and he and a friend help transport 59 cannon 300 miles over land and water to aid Washington in his victory over the British.
Being from the area this story takes place in made this an even more interesting read. I really enjoyed finding names and places that I actually knew and had been to scattered throughout the story. ( )
