- The Sun of Saratoga: A Romance of Burgoyne's Surrender takes place during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on the critical moments leading to the British surrender at Saratoga. The novel centers on a young man tasked with guarding a vital point in the war, where his duty is complicated by personal and emotional challenges. A central conflict arises from his interactions with a family divided in their loyalties, as he faces the tensions between military duty and personal relationships. As the protagonist navigates the dangers of war, themes of loyalty, duty, and betrayal emerge, with the young man confronting not only external enemies but also the internal complexities of trust and allegiance. His mission is made even more difficult by his dealings with a young woman whose family supports the British, creating an atmosphere of intrigue and emotional tension. The story enhances the exploration of the burdens of duty and the moral dilemmas faced in times of war, as characters grapple with conflicting loyalties and the high stakes of the revolution.
- About The Author
- Joseph A. Altsheler was born on April 29, 1862, in Three Springs, Hart County, Kentucky, to Joseph and Louise Altsheler. He was a newspaper reporter, editor, and author of popular juvenile historical fiction. He wrote fifty novels and at least fifty-three short stories. Seven of his novels were in sequence. He worked as an editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1885. In 1892, he started to work for New York World and then as the editor of the World's tri-weekly magazine. He wrote children s stories due to a lack of suitable stories. On May 30, 1880, Altsheler married Sarah Boles and had a son named Sidney. In 1914, during World War I Altsheler and his family were in Germany and they were forced to remain there. Altsheler died at the age of 57, on June 5, 1919, in New York. His wife, Sarah Boles died after 30 years. Their bodies are buried at the Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Although each of the thirty-two novels constitutes an independent story, Altsheler suggested reading in sequence for each series (that is, he numbered the volumes). You can read the remaining eighteen novels in any order.
