Chief among these warring factions were revered rebel hero Captain Joshua Huddy and his fierce rival, a runaway enslaved Black man called Colonel Tye, who fought for the British. Attempting to bring the captured Huddy to prison, Tye was killed in battle, and when Loyalists murdered Huddy without benefit of trial two years later, the resulting international outrage jeopardized Benjamin Franklin's Paris peace treaty negotiations. Only when Marie Antoinette pleaded with George Washington to stop the retaliatory hanging of a young British lieutenant did the peace talks resume. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Rick Geffken reveals the stories of these two obscure enemies who died and rose to fame for their beliefs in independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Geffken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467157506","brand":"History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45089724268681,"sku":"9781467157506","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_38536c09-61f7-4267-a5cf-cf8dde92940a.jpg?v=1766477060","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/new-jerseys-revolutionary-rivalry-the-untold-story-of-colonel-tye-captain-huddy-9781467157506","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
