About this ebook

By the author of the critically acclaimed novel, Casting Lots, New Caledonia: A Song of America is William D. McEacherns third historical novel and the second in the Caledonia series. The first novel in the series, Caledonia: A Song of Scotland, told the story of James MacEachern fighting for Bonnie Prince Charles. New Caledonia: A Song of America continues the epic tale of James, as he emigrates from Scotland in 1750, fleeing the Duke of Cumberlands ruthless assassin, Captain David Angus Campbell. Sailing to America, James walks the Great Wagon Trail from Philadelphia to Winchester, where he meets Daniel Morgan, who becomes a lifelong friend. Swirling events embroil Daniel and James as wagoners hauling freight for the British Army in the French and Indian War. On the road to the Battle of the Monongahela, James learns that Captain David Campbell is their commanding officer. For a minor infraction, Captain David Campbell whips Daniel Morgan nearly to death. The story of James, Daniel Morgan, and Captain David Campbell is played out over the course of two wars, the French and Indian War and the American Revolution, in battles such as Monongahela, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens. Who will survive?

Author

William D. McEachern

William D. McEachern lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with his wife. He is a father and a grandfather. Mr. McEachern graduated from Duke University with a Bachelor in Arts in Psychology and Religion. He earned his Juris Doctor and his Master’s in Law in Taxation from Fordham University School of Law and New York University School of Law, respectively. He practiced trusts, estates, and tax law for nearly forty years before becoming a full-time historian, writing novels of historical fiction. He thoroughly researches and travels extensively to lend authenticity and realism to his works. To write New Caledonia: A Song of America, Mr. McEachern journeyed along both Braddock’s Road and the Great Wagon Road and visited many Revolutionary War battlefields, including King’s Mountain and Cowpens. His areas of expertise include the Roman Empire, early Christianity, Scotland, and United States history, emphasizing the American Revolution and the Civil War. Mr. McEachern’s first novel, Casting Lots, which is the life story of the centurion who presided over the Crucifixion, garnered excellent reviews. His second novel, Caledonia: A Song of Scotland, explores Scottish history up to the Battle of Culloden and the beginning of the Highland Clearances. New Caledonia: A Song of America, the second novel in the Caledonia series, follows the Scots’ migration from Scotland to America as they walk the Great Wagon Road and finally settle in the Carolinas during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution.
