- Synopsis
- Adventures of a teenaged boy who jumped ship to bring to the colonies the Old World skill of fish-curing that had been the pride of the Tobey family for generations. Part of The Land of the Free series. An addition to the Land of the Free series which is an exciting job of research, and for that reason an important library item (upper grade elementary and junior high). The author has done an important task in giving fresh, significant material and interesting details on the fish-curing industry on the coast of Maine, back in 1646 when Cornishmen settled there. The story centers around Chris Tobey who escaped from a Puritan- owned English vessel to join his father, and ran head on into the troubles that plagued the Cornishmen, Indians, Royalists, Puritans, their own lawless settlers, and the long arm of English control.
