This book follows the amazing life of John Corbly, 1733 to 1803, from the time he was shanghaied in Ireland as a young teenager to the troublesome times of the Whisky Rebellion in frontier Pennsylvania.


Once in America, he experiences some good luck. Indentured to a good Christian family, he learns farming, believing it to be his destiny.
