"The Saint Louis Tower" is a historical fiction set during the American Revolution, focusing on Mateo de Agulo's journey from a young man on the Canary Islands to a soldier in the Spanish army in the Americas. The story begins with Mateo witnessing a ship bound for the Americas from his father's vineyard in La Gomera, sparking his fascination with distant lands and ships. Mateo, feeling constrained by his lack of prospects on the island and heartbroken over his love interest's impending marriage to a wealthy widower, decides to enlist in the Spanish army for a chance at a new life.
The novel explores Mateo's transformation as he adapts to military life and confronts the realities of war, including encounters with the British, the Choctaw, and bandits, showcasing his bravery and quick thinking in various skirmishes and his interactions with different cultures. His journey is not just a physical one across the vast and wild landscapes of the New World but also an internal journey of growth, responsibility, and understanding of his place in the world.
"The Saint Louis Tower" weaves historical facts with fiction, capturing the complexity of the era's geopolitical dynamics, the richness of the American wilderness, and the diverse cultures and peoples Mateo encounters. Through Mateo's eyes, readers experience the harsh realities of colonial warfare, the alliances and conflicts between European powers and indigenous peoples, and the personal sacrifices and choices that shape a soldier's life.
The novel ultimately tells a tale of adventure, loyalty, and the pursuit of a new beginning, set against the backdrop of the American Revolution and the Spanish Empire's expansion in the Americas, highlighting the interconnected fates of individuals and nations during a pivotal period in history.
