Upriver To Freedom
(2024)(The first book in the Jonah Chamberlain: Mountain Man series)
A novel by LeRoy A Peters
In the treacherous waters of the early 19th century, a young boy's fight for survival and thirst for vengeance sets sail in Upriver to Freedom.
Jonah Chamberlain's journey begins in the grimy streets of Deptford, London, where he is press-ganged into His Majesty’s Royal Navy at just 13 years old. Torn from his family and the only life he knew, Jonah is thrust into a world of hardship aboard the HMS Executioner. Under the cruel watch of Jack Bradley, the ship's sadistic cook, Jonah and his fellow captive, Daniel Ford, endure relentless abuse while learning the harsh realities of seafaring life.
Yet amidst the turmoil, Jonah's spirit remains unbroken. With each passing day, he grows stronger, more resilient, and ever more determined to seize his chance for freedom. His prayers and plots converge on a single, pivotal moment: the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815. At 15, Jonah makes his daring escape, leaving behind the chains of his oppressors and embarking on a journey of no return which will take him into the wilderness of the American West and onto the path of becoming an indomitable mountain man.
Upriver to Freedom chronicles Jonah Chamberlain's transformation from a captive boy to a determined young man, driven by a relentless quest for justice and liberation. Follow his odyssey through perilous waters and untamed lands as he seeks not only to survive but to reclaim his destiny.
