Red Coat Brigade

  Author:   Vernon Oickle    
  Publisher:  MacIntyre Purcell Publishing Inc.

On a warm, beautiful sunny day in June 1782, the women and young children of the village of Chester come together to defend their still-fledgling settlement against the invading and much more well-armed Americans. Armed only with their cunning and imagination, this rag-tag group of settlers pushed back the marauding intruders without the loss of a single life. In this fictional account of those events, veteran author Vernon Oickle weaves facts and legend to tell a story that has become part of Nova Scotia’s heritage and folklore.

GRIPPING
“Vernon Oickle brings to life the treacherous privateering and divided loyalties that marked America’s Revolutionary War as it spilled over onto Nova Scotia’s shores. Red Coat is a gripping tale from start to finish, a must read.”
—Glenna Jenkins, author of Somewhere I Belong

 

THRILLER
“This is an historical thriller of the first order. It is a page turner . . . a book you simply won’t be able to put down.”
— Robert Hirtle,  journalist

Quick Quotes

NOT A LOT OF CRAP HERE
"Finally. An outhouse book that isn't full of crap! The Second Movement: Nova Scotia Outstanding Outhouse Reader #2 is filled with intriguing facts and stories about Canada's Ocean Playground that will give you a new perspective on the province." —Richard Crouse, host of CTV's Pop Life
  

A HOLE IN ONE
"Having lived in Nova Scotia my entire life, I naively believed that I knew just about everything there is to know about our beloved province. Vernon Oickle's book has, if you'll pardon the expression, made me 'privy' to a plethora of fun and interesting facts which I had not previously known. He has once again, in my humble opinion, hit a 'hole in one' with this latest effort." —Robert Hirtle, journalist
