Travis Bowman is an author, film producer, and 7th
generation descendant of Peter Francisco who stands 6’6” tall just like his
famous ancestor. He began researchingthe life of his great-grandfather in 2006, and it has turned into an amazing
journey of faith, family, and freedom.
In 2008, Travis began telling Peter’s story through dramatic impersonations with a 6’ replica broadsword similar to the one George Washington had made for Peter. In 2009, he released his novel based on the life of Peter Francisco called Hercules of the Revolution. In 2010, he produced the first television documentary about Peter Francisco called The Peter Francisco Story. In 2011, he began working on a movie based on his novel which Travis hopes to see released in 2015.
Travis’s family is originally from Virginia where Peter was raised and resided most of his life. Coincidently, Travis was born the very day Virginia passed the resolution to observe Peter Francisco Day.
Travis’s grandfather was stationed in London during WWII, and his father spent 40 years with the Department of Defense. He was born and raised in Baltimore, MD, lived in Europe as a kid for three years, and spent eight years in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Today, he resides in Charlotte, NC with his wife and two boys.
