The Battle of Turkey Thicket by Christopher Russell

The Battle of Turkey Thicket by Christopher Russell

The Battle of Turkey Thicket describes the curious travels of Philip Thomas Hughes, an orphan who ran away from his adoptive home in 1949. Philip witnesses the civic evolution of Washington, D.C., endures the grime of Chicago's Skid Row, and finds romance amidst Japan's post-World War I reconstruction, all before celebrating his eighteenth birthday on the chaotic battlefields of the Korean War. At the same time, the story of Philip and his family is one of spiritual faith that was formed, challenged, and reconstituted through sacrifice. This book reveals the history behind a forgotten memorial, while rescuing the story of Philip Thomas Hughes - and his journeys - from oblivion.

Whenever Christopher Russell walks, he finds irresistible proof of American history. He and his wife and daughter live in a 1915-vintage house in the Baltimore area, which delivers joy in excess of the do-it-yourself attention it necessitates.
