Abstract
"Here, in an authentically depicted passage of Scottish and Canadian history, in the story of David and Jeannie Grant, who suffered the cruel ousting of the Sutherlands from their Highland crofts. Uprooted, they voyaged westward to a wild new home in search of land they could till and call their own.
One of the most gripping epics of Canadian history, the voyage and hardships, the hopes, despairs and persistent courage of the Selkirk settlers become personalized and vivid in the pages of this tale of the landless Scots who were first to turn the prairie sod of Canada.
The author, a Canadian born in Scotland, devoted years to research before writing a book that now joins the library of worthy historical novels illustrative of Canada's beginnings."--Book jacket.
