Receives:

A unique blend of fictional scrutiny and courtroom drama, The Trial of Lt. Colonel Abraham Hunt is former attorney Michael A. Davis' first book. Written primarily as court transcripts from a fictional trial, the novel focuses on real-life character Hunt's unusual preoccupations during the time of the American Revolution—many believed he was an American who took an oath of allegiance to the British. As evidence is debated and sides are presented, we are led along wondering what really happened after all.

This book is intriguing in its unique look at a little-known but perhaps important figure in American history. Students of the American Revolution will be particularly pleased with this novel as it deals with information Davis derived from a document written by Abraham Hunt himself. This novel discusses the mystery of who Abraham Hunt was and what his true participation in the Revolution may have been. Perhaps Lt. Colonel Hunt did not side with the British after all..
