I need a writer to put some life to all the historical facts and stories of Luther Barney's adventures during the Revolutionary War. He was a soldier with Washingtons army from Boston to the defeat in New York and later became a privateer with some ships out of Connecticut. As a privateer he had fantastic experiences capturing British ships and engaging in fights with others. He was captured by the British during his final voyage. He was imprisoned on a British ship which was then captured by the French. He was impressed into the French forces along with 8 other Americans and they were witnesses to the famous naval Battle of the Virgina Capes which allows us to win the war. They were released at Yorktown after the British surrender. After their release they met with George Washington who gave them help in getting home. Some genealogic research should be done to Substantiate all the stories. I would like to have a short book published and sold to the ancestors of Luther unless a writer thinks it could be turned into something more. He had 21 children, so there must be thousands of descendants .
