Crossing the River Harold Titus

Crossing the River brings to life General Thomas Gage's failed attempt, April 19, 1775, to seize and destroy military stores stockpiled at Concord by the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. Characters of high and ordinary station confront their worst fears. Illustrating the internal conflicts, hubris, stupidity, viciousness, valor, resiliency, and empathy of many of the day's participants, Crossing the River is both a study of man experiencing intense conflict and the resultant aspects of high-risk decision-taking.
