New Hampshire's General John Stark - Live Free or Die: Death Is Not the Worst of Evils

by Clifton La Bree

A fresh look at one of America’s staunchest defenders of liberty and freedom. John Stark was a courageous New Hampshire citizen-soldier who fought in both the French and Indian War, and the Revolutionary War. He was a modest man of the forest who had honed his skills in the volatile wilderness frontier that stretched west from the Piscataqua River to the Hudson River-Lake Champlain corridor.
His pursuit of leadership excellence on the battlefield distinguished him as one of the most successful combat commanders of the war, and one of the least appreciated.
His selflessness, modest life style, and devotion to the cause of freedom are an inspiration that time has not diminished. He remains today the embodiment of the frugal, independent, and cantankerous New Hampshire Yankee.
New Hampshire’s General John Stark will appeal to all citizens interested in learning more about the legacy of sacrifice personified by General Stark and his compatriots.

I enjoyed this book greatly. It was enlightening to learn something about someone who has family ties on my mother's side. Possibly, a great grandfather with 2 or 3 greats prior to the first one.
