Dan Morgan survived many amazing exploits, and the action in this story is exciting and almost non-stop. But the story doesn’t read like an adrenaline-soaked superhero tale. Dan was a real man who learned how to work hard, and who was dedicated to honing his craft and serving his country. He had astounding success, but also suffered losses and severe injury. He served valiantly throughout the Revolutionary War, and later was sent to Congress from Virginia. 

Tucker managed to write this story using language accessible to the youngest independent readers while also keeping it interesting and compelling for parents and grandparents.
