Synopsis

Richard Priddy’s world was one of leisure and affluence. Raised and educated on a prestigious plantation in Virginia, his was a future filled with wealth and promise. But as the fires of rebellion against Great Britain swept throughout the Colonies, this young man of privilege became enamored with ideas of patriotism and liberty. The concept of an independent, free United States captured his imagination.

Against his family’s wishes, and at the tender age of sixteen years, Richard enlisted in the Continental Army in the summer of ‘76. Within a matter of weeks this sheltered, spoiled lad found himself in the throes of deadly combat in the Northeast. He experienced for the first time in his life trials such as sleeplessness, sickness, nakedness, starvation, and death. It was only then that he realized freedom and liberty were not just romantic notions. Rather, they must come at a great cost and with great sacrifice.

Virginians and Continentals is the coming-of-age story of a young American who volunteered to sacrifice everything and endure the unimaginable in order to secure liberty for all Americans.
