 brated in newspaper accounts and praised by George Washington. Today\, he 
 is largely overlooked. Ken Sheldon&mdash\;fifth-great-grandson of John Man
 ley&mdash\;set out to discover why\, and the search became a decades-long 
 quest to uncover the true story of this forgotten hero. Copies of Ken&rsqu
 o\;s book will be available for purchase and signing.</p>\n<p>&ldquo\;Manl
 ey's life and exploits seem more the stuff of naval fiction\, and they are
  brought to life in Sheldon's narrative\, which is readable\, well-researc
 hed and fast-paced.&rdquo\; &mdash\;James L. Nelson\, author of <em>George
  Washington's Secret Navy</em></p>\n<p>&ldquo\;Sheldon takes the reader on
  a journey of discovery and in the process shines light on the birth of a 
 nation\, with its triumphs and defeats\, both in battle and in life.&rdquo
 \; &mdash\;Mel Allen\, longtime editor of Yankee Magazine and author of <e
 m>Here in New England</em></p>\n<p><strong>About the Author</strong></p>\n
