Book Excerpt:

The roads were rough, where roads there were, but the land smiled under the sun, and the Virginians, high and low, kept open house for the chance traveller. One night I would eat pork and hominy with a rough fellow who was carving a farm out of the forest; and the next I would sit in a fine panelled hall and listen to gentlefolks' speech, and dine off damask and silver.

This is not a Hannay book, but it's one of my favorite Buchan books! It's set in the 1700s in New England (or thereabouts).

One of Buchan's early books.... But the pace of the novel moved swiftly enough that I could easily imagine it as a movie unfolding scene by scene. A Critique of Buchan is that his spy novels become formulaic. This is neither. This is a novel that captures the grand adventure of being an early Americ

Salute to the author for a stunningly written, well conceived plot, and loveable characters. Besides, it's got an Elspeth, and what could be better?

Full of action, very competent. Scottish trader goes to Virginia to improve business, but makes enemies of old families. Because of contacts in Scotland he goes into Indian country. Escapades, fights, acts of bravery.
