Thomas Annely: A Story Inspired by Real People and Real Events - 9905

A TALE OF TRUE PATRIOTISM In this gripping tale of loyalty and courage, the author has woven facts with fiction to bring this story of a remarkable young British gunsmith, Thomas Annely, to life. When Thomas joins his family in America, he finds himself torn between loyalty to England and the allure to join the rebels and fight for freedom in the New World. His gunmaking craft, once a source of pride, now becomes a tool of power - one that both sides desperately seek for themselves. Thomas must make a choice: remain loyal to King George III or join his brave sister, Elizabeth, and fight for independence. It is a choice he must make wisely, for his life is at stake. A Note About My Thomas Annely Musket On September 12, 1995 I was deeply honored to be invited to meet George C. Neumann, a well-known Revolutionary War historian and published author. Mr. Neumann is considered one of the most knowledgeable experts in the history of American made muskets. After examining my musket, he confirmed that it was a very rare “Committee of Safety” Revolutionary War musket that was built and signed by Thomas Annely, a gunsmith who served under General George Washington during the period of the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783. - Fred Marzocchi
