Robbie Cameron: A Story of Freedom

Robbie Cameron was born during a turbulent time in Scottish history. As our story begins, Charles Stuart, heir to the Scottish throne, leaves France to begin a rebellion against the English, supported by unruly Irishmen and Highland Scots. During the battle of Culloden (16 April 1746), "Bonnie Prince Charlie" makes a fateful mistake and his army is defeated. Young Robbie, who serves as a page to the Prince, now finds himself a pawn in the great game of political power when his clan chief, Lochiel, sends him on a mission that takes him from Scotland to France, where he meets James Rourke, an Irishman who served as Prince Charlie's bodyguard and like his liege, who is also on the run. Together, Robbie and Rourke travel to Rome, where the Prince has sought refuge in the Vatican. Unable to return to Scotland, Robbie and James decide to leave their roguish past behind and settle in America. Robbie wants to become a farmer, marry, and raise a family. What does destiny have in store for these two bold adventurers in this new land?
