About this book

A crowd gathers beside a pond near Jamestown in 1653, waiting for a public punishment that exposes the divisions among Virginia's colonists. John R. Musick sets his historical novel against the struggle between Puritans and royalists, then traces colonial unrest toward Bacon's Rebellion. The Stevens family, including John and his son Robert, provides a personal thread through the political history and the customs of everyday life.

The narrative shifts between dramatic scenes and explanations of the people and events behind them. One episode pairs an unlikely fencing contest with an account of fugitives from England finding shelter in New England after the monarchy returns. A historical index and chronology accompany the story.
