Description
Adventure, honor, and love drive a young patriot amidst the clash of empires. Can one man's loyalty survive in a world fraught with intrigue and danger?
Set during the American Revolution, Cardigan follows the courageous and noble-hearted Michael Cardigan as he navigates a world divided by loyalty and treachery. In a tale blending action, romance, and history, Cardigan's journey pits him against British foes and colonial spies, all while testing his values and resilience. Curwood's classic novel paints a vivid portrait of early America and one man's fight for freedom.
Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was an American artist and fiction writer, best known for his 1895 book of short stories entitled The King in Yellow. Cardigan is "an enthralling story of the bitter struggle in the colonies preceding the War of Independence for the adherence of the Indians; of the breeding of rebellion among the colonists, families divided against themselves; of adventure and heroism, of treachery and deceit."

Robert William Chambers was an American artist and writer who was born May 26, 1865, and died December 16, 1933. He is best known for his 1895 collection of short stories called The King in Yellow. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Chambers was the son of William P. Chambers (1827-1911), a business and bankruptcy lawyer, and Caroline Smith Boughton. When his mom was twelve, William P. was an intern with her famous business lawyer father, Joseph Boughton. This is how his parents met. In the end, they joined forces to start the law firm of Chambers and Boughton. It did well even after Joseph's death in 1861. The great-grandfather of Robert Chambers was a sailor in the British Royal Navy named William Chambers. He married Amelia Saunders (1765-1822), who was the great-granddaughter of Tobias Saunders of Westerly, Rhode Island. First, they moved from Westerly to Greenfield, Massachusetts. Then they moved to Galway, New York, where they had their son, also named William Chambers (1798-1874). The second William finished from Union College when he was 18. He then went to a college in Boston to study medicine.
