Baker, Rebel, Spy
War had again found Christoff Ludwig. A survivor of two wars fighting for Germany, the newly minted American had a different assignment this time: facing certain death if caught, cross enemy lines and convince Hessian soldiers to desert the British army.
Christopher Ludwick made friends like he made gingerbread—hands-on, with gusto, honesty, love and trust. But could he use his powers of persuasion to convince hardened Hessian warriors to defy their Emperor and abandon the British army?
To find out, he must put his life in danger.
Baker, Rebel, Spy is the harrowing true story of ex-Hessian soldier Christoff Ludwig, who immigrated to America and became a prominent member of Philadelphia society. When thousands of Hessians sailed to America to help the British during the American Revolution, the newly minted Christopher Ludwick persuaded the Continental Congress to give him permission to cross enemy lines to convince them to desert the British. His bravery helped turn the tide of the war and win America its freedom.
Wherever he went, whatever his duties, Ludwick carried the salvation message in word and works, declaring to his good friend and founding father, Dr. Benjamin Rush, “I am of little value to myself if I do not do this... I feel God compels me. With Him as my shield, I will escape the executioner.”
Once Ludwick returned from his spying mission, George Washington named him Baker General for the Continental Army—a duty he performed without pay; in fact, personally carrying much of the costs.
Ludwick’s contributions to America surpassed his fearless actions during the American Revolution and, in fact, live on in the Christopher Ludwick Foundation which awards $250,000 a year to help underprivileged children in Philadelphia.
