In Oldbury, a quiet Massachusetts seaport of elm-shaded streets and old brick houses, a boy’s life is turned upside down by a seafaring uncle who keeps turning up. The story is set in the days of the War of 1812, when taverns rang with talk of free trade and sailors’ rights.

A historical boys’ story with real feeling for old New England towns and the sea that made them. Download the free EPUB.
