Former Navy Officer Brings the American Revolution's Overlooked Southern Campaign to Life in New Book
MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. - The American Revolution may have begun in New England, but it was in the violent southern provinces where its outcome was ultimately decided. Former U.S. Naval Officer Ray Deptula shines a light on that often-overlooked chapter of history in Can't Find My Way Home, the second installment in Deptula's Those Damned Yankees series.
Drawing on meticulous historical research and the actual sequence of Revolutionary War events, Deptula follows British deserter Jack Halliday and his companion, Custis, an enslaved man, as they become separated from the Continental Army after the devastating Battle of Camden and struggle to survive the lawless violence of South Carolina, where neighbor turned against neighbor and rival militias waged some of the ugliest fighting of the Revolution.
"Service in the military is enduring in that the motivation to withstand hardships comes not from political ideology but rather the love of your comrades," Deptula said. "Can't Find My Way Home deals primarily with the relationship between Jack and the slave, Custis, to whom Jack feels a moral obligation to protect for no other reason than he is Jack's friend."
Can't Find My Way Home finds Jack Halliday and Custis serving with the Continental Army after enduring the harsh winter of 1780-81 at Washington's army encampment in New Jersey. When spring arrives, they are swept into the Battle of Camden, where the Continental forces are decimated by the British, and along with it, the American hopes of ridding the southern provinces of Britain's new and dangerous foothold.
Separated from their army and lost in the volatile South, the unlikely pair must survive together in a world where trust is scarce, and Custis' value as property continually tests Jack's moral compass. Their desperate struggle to find safety and return home inspired the title Can't Find My Way Home.
With precision and perspective, Deptula taps into timeless concepts such as human nature and moral survival, offering a powerful reminder that yesterday's conflicts continue to shape today's world - and that history seems destined to repeat itself.
