Hale’s Gate is a story about a country bar in Southeast Tennessee, the owner, his group of interesting friends, and their struggle to protect their Shangri-la. Joseph Carl Hale, the owner and a man who possesses some unique talents, must battle a local syndicate or risk losing his little spot of paradise. Combining the elements of realism and mysticism, the story reveals the beauty and absurdity found in the effort to enjoy life in a world inhabited by greedy and violent criminals. The questions of who is right or wrong and what is good or evil are sorted out at “Hale’s Gate.”
Captain Hale’s Covenant is a family saga about Adam Hale, an American Revolutionary War blockade runner who, with his sons, builds a fortune in trade with France, England, and Jamaica during the Federal Period (1783–1822). The turbulent backdrop is the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic era, featuring Barbary pirates, press gangs, Regency balls, privateers, a slave uprising, duels, the Peninsular Campaign, and pitched naval battles. Thomas E. Crocker’s narrative explores how the family patriarch struggles to achieve a meaningful, personal commitment of civic duty to his country, all the while trying to reconcile evil in the world with an omniscient and loving God. It tells how Americans ventured into the unknown in ships, never knowing if they would come back or what rewards they might reap. It is a story of how every generation struggles. It is the American Experience based on a true story.
