Beginning as historical fiction in 1725, the novel follows members of the McFadden family from Dumfries, Scotland to North America. Part One, “The Fighting McFaddens” finds the family involved in the many conflicts that helped define both the United States and Canada from the Indian Wars in 1763 to Afghanistan in 2012. Part Two, ‘1850’, begins in the year 2015 and the novel changes into science fiction as we look ahead for the next 75 years. Through the Industrial Revolution to the end of the Electronic Age, the McFaddens are here to tell their stories. And like the sandstone from the Locharbriggs Quarry, they are solid reminders of our not-so-distant past as well as a hope for the future.
