Brad Livengood has never been one to discontinue a quest. Much of his life has been dedicated to digging and discovery, whether in musty archives, within his own experience, or sometimes in just plain old dirt, seeking answers in the artifacts of the past. This sometime blogger and columnist from Thomasville, North Carolina uses these inquiries to tell stories, echoes that whisper of a past that not only doesn’t fade away, but shouts at we in the present like a Greek Chorus. Liberty Man, his first novel based upon events in the American Revolution is one such story.
