Home Before Dark is a work of fiction about two of my true to life grandfathers. All the Asbury’s and their offspring are real people. Since the history I have on them is scant, how they lived is fictional but based in fact. Henry Asbury comes to Virginia in 1676, when all of Virginia is in an uproar over Bacon’s Rebellion. With his best friend Tobias and a land grant from his Father, young Henry sets out to begin his life. On the banks of the Potomac River he will face the struggles of a young colonist determined to carve a life for himself and his family. Henry has three sons but by rule of thumb his plantation goes to the eldest. He breaks all the rules by leaving all three enough to start on their own.
