About this author

Travis Bowman is a 6th generation descendant of Peter Francisco, and he is of similar stature standing 6’6” tall just like Peter. As an actor he enjoys telling Peter’s story through dramatic impersonations with a 6’ replica broadsword similar to the one George Washington had made for Peter. Travis’ family is originally from Virginia where Peter was raised and resided most of his life. Coincidently, Travis was born the day after Virginia declared March 15th, Peter Francisco Day.

Travis’ grandfather was stationed in London during WWII, and his father spent 40 years at the Department of Defense. He was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, lived in Europe as a kid for three years, and spent eight years in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Toda...more
