April 19, 1775, British regiments from the Boston area march to Concord and Lexington in search of weapons hidden by colonial rebels. Regiments are ambushed on their return. Sergeant Noland Black [Protagonist] is shot, falls unconscious, and awakes on the same date and place, but exactly 200 years into the future. Found by reenactors, he is initially reassured by their uniforms, then thrown into anxiety when confronted with the modernism of 1975. Three individuals find Noland, care for him, verify his origin, and exposed him to advances and civilities of the 20^th century. Enamored of his female caregiver, he desires to remain. But when he learns the results of the American Revolutionary War, he wants to return to the past to declare the futility Great Britain has initiated. Since his transit is inexplicable, return to the past would be as great a mystery. Noland’s experiences establish his future destiny.

Newfound Freedom is Richard Modlin’s well-crafted, historically accurate, narrative epic that will thrill readers interested in American colonial life and nautical adventure. It’s a flowing, coming-of-age, plot-driven novel of camaraderie comparable to the early books written by Patrick O’Brien.

This novel, the first in the Hollister series, introduces two English brothers, Jack and Ian Hollister, who experience a perilous Atlantic crossing in 1774 and unexpectedly become embroiled in the beginnings of the American Revolution.

Modlin’s inspiration for the novel found its genesis in the author’s love of history and his stays along the down-east coast of Maine, where he learned of the Battle of Machias, the first naval battle of the American Revolution.

Modlin’s superb writing skills and knowledge of history keeps the reader intimately engaged with the history of the time. The dialogue uses only words and expressions that were common lexis in the New England, Great Britain, and on the high seas in the eighteenth century. Descriptions of the landmarks, events, and terrain are true to the time. Moreover, the fictional characters interact with actual historical figures such as George Washington, Jeremiah O’Brien, Nathan Hale, and many others.
