Ian MacIntosh: The Charleston Adventure

by Fritz Kirsch, Sara La Delfa-Kirsch (Editor)

1825, Ian Macintosh saw the handwriting on the wall. The days of living on the Eastern Frontier and trading with the Indians were over. The tribes were being removed over the Trail or Tears to the West. His alternative was to move to Charleston and a new kind of wilderness where men were as savage as any hostile Indian in the forest and maybe even more cruel. In Charleston, Ian teams up with Odet Phillipe to start a new life. He re-kindles an old romance with Roxanne, a fiery Irish tavern girl. To care for his daughter, Suzanna, Odet introduces him to Babette an exotic woman from the islands of the Caribbean. Both women set their desires on capturing Ian’s heart. But the horrors of slavery cause drama and excitement beyond Ian’s expectations. He’s led into a dangerous chase through the swamps of South Carolina that ends in a duel under the oaks to settle old scores and retrieve his true love.

[Clay Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read rich in historical detail. It was a slow read for 3/4 of the story. Liked that this was based on real people.
