Miles Jesse Knight and Mary Ingles Knight were the 5th Great Grandparents of the author Lance Knight. Lance and his co-author Raymond D. Mason take poetic advantage of the historical and ancestral records of the Knight Family and will produce serial type novels for the reader. Miles Knight is a larger than life character who is morally straight, charismatic, engaging, brave, loving and defender of the less fortunate. Miles quickly adapts to life in his adopted country of America. After having established his own farm and family Miles is drawn into the fray of uprising against the British rulers of the Colonies. Taxation with representation is only one of the grievances of the colonists. Having fought to defend his property and family against hostile Indians and corrupt Loyalist officials of the British, Miles Knight proves to be resilient and determined to survive and thrive. Miles Knight is a big man, standing six-feet-five inches tall and weighing two-hundred-forty-five pounds. His normal cheerful, Irish lilt and lovable disposition belie his dormant Irish warrior spirit. Having grown up in Ireland and been bruised by British rule for many years, he like most Irish people has an affinity for the underdog. He cannot abide the bullying of the underprivileged in society, and the offender, if Miles is present, is quickly and decisively brought to account ... often painfully. Lance Knight and Raymond D. Mason have woven the story through and around actual historical events of the thirteen original colonies of America in the eighteenth century. The reader will go with Miles and Mary through their trials and joys of daily life in Colonial America. The reader will witness the good, the bad and the ugly of society, vicious battles with enemies of the family. The reader will be surprised by the uncompromising values and traits of Miles Knight in his 'new world'. The reader will not soon forget about "Miles Knight: The Immigrant".
