War Drums echo across the Frontier


Driven by the promise of a new frontier, Fergus Moorhead, his beautiful young wife, Jane, and a small group of intrepid pioneers challenge the treacherous road across the Allegheny Mountains to the untamed wilderness of Western Pennsylvania.

Soon, their fragile world is ripped apart by the realities of war. Fergus is captured by Indians and forced on a nightmare journey that takes him from one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolutionary War to the hell of a British prison ship. Not knowing if her husband is dead or alive, Jane and her children must face the dangers and heartbreak of the frontier alone.
Based on a true story, West of the Alleghenies is the epic tale of one man's struggle to survive in a war-torn land and return to the woman he loves.

Fergus Moorhead is a legend in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Along with his great-great-great-grandson, the actor James Stewart, Fergus is one of the region's best-known historical figures. Now, life and legend come together to create an epic tale of love, war, and survival.

And don't miss The Heart of the Run, a thrilling story of five generations of Moorheads in Scotland and Ireland during the 17th and 18th Centuries. Winner of the FWA Gold Medal for Best Published Historical Fiction. See my Amazon Author's Page!
