Nicholas, young and idealistic, fought on the side of King Charles I of England against Cromwell. After the king was beheaded, Nicholas was forced to leave his ancestral manor, undertake the perilous sea journey, and start life in a struggling New World. Thus begins the vivid account of frontier life, pioneer hardships, and Indian massacres.Every important event is authentically documented with copious footnotes. The history vividly spans three hundred years, from the 1600s through the Second World War. The reader not views the reality of all major happenings, such as the Boston Tea Party, the American Revolution, and Civil War, but also witnesses daily life and fun at a husking bee, frontier raising, an early circus, and the St. Louis World's Fair. We see the birth of the automobile, as well as electricity.
