Excerpt – Dust Jacket:
Like the first brigade of Selkirk settlers, whose story this is, the author came from Sutherland, Scotland…

There have been other books about the Selkirk Settlers. This novel is different in that it is devoted to the story of the Sutherland crofters who were gathered up from their destitute position on the beaches when lands they had tilled became a deerpark. Fearfully but with desperate hope they took Lord Selkirk’s offer to colonize and so, as the first brigade of an historic migration of settlers, they were pathfinders. In this colorful story those times are vividly portrayed.
