In 1744 David Cameron, a Scottish boy, and Tomah, Chief of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), are sold into slavery on a Virginia plantation. They team up for a daring escape and, thanks to Tomah’s knowledge and bravery, outwit their pursuers. They head north through the wilderness and the dangers of the French and Indian War, aiming for the safety of Tomah’s home village, Medowktek (Meductic), on the shore of the Wolastoq (St. John River).At the heart of the story is the respect and trust that create a bond of friendship between the resilient young Scot and the wise and resourceful Chief of the Wolastoqiyik.In this fast-paced historical adventure novel, George Frederick Clarke proves once again that he is a master storyteller of New Brunswick. George Frederick Clarke (1883-1974) is one of New Brunswick’s best-known writers. He lived in Woodstock his whole life and published thirteen books. Chapel Street Editions is republishing Clarke’s books under the editorial direction of his granddaughter and biographer, Mary Bernard. 3
