This is a historical adventure about the author’s actual 5th great grandfather, Patrick Tracy. Born and raised on a farm in 1711, Patrick had been orphaned at the age of ten, when both his father and mother died within days of each of other. Since his father’s brother, Robert, wanted nothing to do with the boy, he sent his young nephew out alone, on a one-way ticket aboard a cargo ship to sail from Wexford, Ireland to Boston, in the Massachusetts Bay.
Though Patrick was young and abandoned, his parents had left him with a precious gift; they had taught him how to read, write, and work mathematical problems. This knowledge leads Patrick down a path of many exciting adventures, and a new way of life.
