Book excerpt: During the tumultuous years leading up to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Christian and Tamanend Maier, two brothers from rural Pennsylvania, pursue their goals to become physicians. Different in many ways, they take different paths and face diverse challenges in their quests to become ‘doctors of physick.’ Much of The Patriot Surgeon: Coming of Age is set in colonial Philadelphia and Boston, amid the panoply of well known historical figures and turmoil of political discontent. We follow the two young men as they endure the grueling hours their training requires, revel in their accomplishments and agonize with the sufferings of their patients. They at last reunite in the outskirts of Boston during the days leading up to the deadly fighting that would become known as The Battle of Bunker Hill. On that horrific day of battle, their skills and talents would be needed for the men who fell and the country they loved.
