Michael Cecere’s latest book, Spark of Independence: The American Revolution in the Northern Colonies, 1775–1776 has been published. Mike is a long-time contributor to JAR, in addition to being an author, historian, and reenactor. Spark of Independence is the final volume of his Independence Trilogy, and is the latest in the JAR Books Series. Its two companion volumes focus on the Southern and the Middle colonies during the first year of the Revolution.

The Independence Trilogy: March to Independence: The American Revolution in the Southern Colonies, 1775–1776, Spark of Independence: The American Revolution in the Northern Colonies, 1775–1776, and United for Independence: The American Revolution in the Middle Colonies, 1775–1776.

The Independence Trilogy seeks to answer one simple question: “What happened in the thirteen colonies after Lexington and Concord in April 1775 until independence was declared in July 1776?” Mike addresses this fundamental question by interspersing primary source material with historical narrative to allow the reader to appreciate these historic events as they unfolded and in the words of those who were there. These three books form a unique and important account of how thirteen disparate colonies banded together in a shared independence movement. This is the birth of America!

Each Independence Trilogy volume contains excellent regional and battle maps.
