Join popular south Florida author Patrick Mesmer in his new release, Exile: The Life and Times of Thomas Higgins.
Step into the early nineteenth century and witness the extraordinary life of Thomas Higgins, a man whose journey defied the odds.
From the rough streets of New Bedford, Massachusetts, to the wild frontiers of Florida, Thomas’s story is one of grit, courage, and transformation. Follow him as he rises from a hard childhood to become:
- a canny street fighter
- a talented blacksmith,
- a fearless whaleboat crewman,
- and ultimately, a legendary Black Seminole warrior.
Through desperate struggle, fierce battles, and moments of profound redemption, Exile brings to life the tale of a man whose spirit could not be broken.
This sweeping historical narrative is not only a thrilling adventure, it is the unforgettable story of survival, vengeance, and triumph.
The book is published by Panthera Publishing. It is available in both paper and kindle versions. Follow Patrick and his often times co-author wife, Patricia, HERE.
I’m excited to read this. It looks like it will be an exciting book. A regular book review will be coming in the near future.
