BALTIMORE, Md. - 
(NewMediaWire) - May 20, 2014 - The new book “Jocko; A Long Way From Home Down Under” from Page
Publishing author Waymon LeFall is a thoroughly researched work of
investigative literature. Attempting to
reconstruct the past, LeFall endeavors to uncover the truth behind the commonly
seen statues of a young boy holding a lantern found in many yards across the
U.S.
During the American Revolutionary War there were many heroes, and yet many more unsung and forgotten. One such story is that of Jocko Graves - the son of a free black man who was too young to join the American Revolutionary Army, but did so anyway. However, most of Jocko’s history and legacy remain shrouded in mystery as one of the only records left of him are that of little black statues of a black boy holding a lantern found on many white folk’s lawns.
"Jocko; A Long Way From Home Down Under" explores the shrouded
past of Jocko Graves while trying to shift through what is fact and what has
become myth. The book follows the trail of evidence and Waymon LeFall
as he goes on a quest to find out if Jocko Graves is actually the first
African-American child hero, or if the legends are just merely that—legends.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Waymon LeFall’s exploration of the past is a grand sojourn into an uncharted wilderness of history.
Readers who wish to experience this adventurous work can purchase “Jocko; A Long Way From Home Down Under” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
