Footprints in History J M Goodison

Based on the personalities who created America's Early Colonial Period, Footprints in History, combines imagination and historic events to tell of the author's sixth great-grandfather, blacksmith and indentured servant, James Fitchett. James and his neighbors toil in the new land for the twenty-four Scottish investors, known as proprietors.
