ABOUT THE BOOK: This is a family friendly novel, rich in historical detail and engaging characters, like books by James Michener. Shortly before the Revolutionary War, a young Scotsman named Angus McDowell makes a solemn promise to his father that will both burden him and bolster him when he comes to the American colonies. Losing his father and family money before departing his homeland, he arrives in America as an indentured servant — but one with brains, stubbornness, and eccentricities that set him apart. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Raised on a farm in rural Indiana, William W. Erwin was a 20 year-old member of the Army Air Corps in WW2. He bought his first 80 acres with money earned from 4H projects. A life-long farmer and public servant, he served as a state senator, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, EPA environmental expert, and noted public speaker. His gift for storytelling is now available to everyone in a charming trio of historical fiction books, suitable for children and adults alike.
