Book Review of Fearless: A Novel of Sarah Bowman

Fearless: A Novel of Sarah Bowman


Another excellent historical novel by Lucia St. Clair Robson. She was a force of nature, the story of Sara Bowman who followed the army and participated in the Florida campaign against the Seminoles, and rode with Zachary Taylor to Mexico for the revolution there. Taller and stronger than most men, as she rode among the flames rescuing wounded soldiers, manning the cannons, and built a family of homeless women and children. Tho tougher than nails, she had a warm heart and helped many on the trail.
