Betrayed by his Uncle, David finds himself kidnapped by Captain Hoseason of the brig "Covenant", who plans to sell him into slavery in the Carolina Colonies of America. However, the ship is blown of course and driven back towards Scotland where in the fog it strikes a small vessel and brings aboard the Scottish soldier and Jacobite Alan Breck Stewart. With the help of Alan, David is able to escape his captors and soon finds himself in the middle of the struggle between the Scottish Highlanders and soldiers of the English government. Stranded in the Scottish wilderness David must fight for his life and return home to collect his rightful inheritance. Through the characters of Alan and David the conflict over Scottish independence from English rule is adventurously depicted. This edition includes illustrations by N. C. Wyeth and a biographical afterword. [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14596808 [pa] => [publisher] => Neeland Media LLC [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
