The Birth Promise
By: Buddy D. Taylor
A story of family immigration from Scotland to America in 1811-1812.
A group of young surveyors are summoned to work in Kentucky. Albert leaves his true love, Anne, in Scotland with hopes of finding land for them in Kentucky. 'The Birth Promise' is filled with love, humor, adventure, and the promise of America good and bad. The Scotsmen find a system of slavery in place, but also a trail guide, Buck McNally who fights for freedom, helping run-aways reach the north country. At the same time, Anne is waiting in Inverness Scotland, confronting the mean Tobias Wilcox. A feud begins.
