The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
The third title to be published in The Land of the Free series, this stirring story of the flight of a royalist family from Puritan persecution is dedicated to the liberty-loving men and women who planted the torch of freedom in the New World.
Written with all the brisk tang and vigor of a frosty New England morning, the novel personifies the spirit of a courageous people.
Out of the surging gray Atlantic, young Chris Tobey walked onto the stern and rockbound coast of Maine and into the tight little village of Machigonne. He came from the uncompromising harshness of Cromwell's England to the new-found freedom of a struggling, young community, searching for his family in the untamed wilderness of the New World.
This is the thrilling tale of the adventures of a teen-age boy who jumped ship to bring the colonies of the Old World skill of fish-curing that had been the pride of the Tobey family for generations. How he discovers the vast lands where the red man still lived as king, and develops a respect for these proud tribes, makes a dynamic and inspiring story.
