About this listen
Thomas McKinnon finds himself transported from 1971 to 1780 with no clue how it happened. But, gaining reassurance from his new guide, thirteen-year-old Woolsey Mathers, he draws on his knowledge of history to sort out the events he is thrust into. Woolsey’s grandfather, Hewan Mathers, is a calm and steadying influence for Thomas as he gradually gets involved in the world of 1780 America. Woolsey’s widowed mother, Annie, is enthralled with Thomas and is strangely drawn to him. This is a tale steeped in the human side of conflict.
SLEEPING MEN, set in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia and the southern Colonies of Colonial America, thrusts us into the final battles fought during the latter part of the American Revolution, highlighting the role played in the ultimate defeat of the British by the immigrant families from Ireland who settled lands on the west side of the mountains against the will of King George.
These rugged frontiersmen earned the sobriquet of OverMountain Men and were the force of Patriots who played a crucial role in the final defeat of Great Britain and the creation of what would become a free United States of America.
Can Thomas McKinnon return to his time?
Is Woolsey Mathers someone beyond his time?
This may be revealed as you climb the steep mountain and finally find peace on its gently sloping far side.
Physically and psychologically, in the reality, and the fantasy … just like life itself.
