Black Powder: New Americans, Book Three of Marty Duncan’s Black Powder Trilogy, continues the story of families whose lives have been shaped by the Dakota War of 1862 and the American Civil War as they build new lives in a changing America.
Kelsey and Patrick worked together through trial and tribulation. Kelsey O’Welin survived six weeks as a hostage during the Dakota War. Parick Harant, injured twice, refused to abandon his friends in the Minnesota Fifth Regiment. They lost friends during the war. At war’s end, they helped load the Sultana with weak and debilitated Union soldiers. They felt the loss of their president and the loss of 1400 brave men when the Sultana exploded.
Side by side they will face blizzards and battles with locusts while they begin to build a family. Over the years, Patrick and Kelsey will be challenged by land speculators, a bigoted neighbor, and the mysterious disappearance of Mark’s daughter, Eva.
New Americans concludes the story of Patrick and Kelsey. Their family will stand strong; their grandsons will make their mark on the proud history of our United States.
