On his first voyage from England to the New World, Allan Jacob Fox had no desire to settle in this faraway land but only work as a ship's hand, and he intended to safely sail back home. A quiet young man who wasn't one to stand out. Allan thought he would in time, marry and settle in one of the busy ports in England. He did not know that his future would be one of adventure, eventually becoming a highly sought after counseler and wise man by many natives from New York's Indian tribes, by one of the high ranking men in the Mohawk Valley, and by hundreds of new settlers who had gradually settled across this wilderness. Although fraught with self-doubt, Allan would soon find himself speaking from his soul to all the people from the St. Lawrence River to the Ohio and Pennsylvania frontiers. He would make enemies, but a brotherly friendship with the Mohawk Indians before and after the French and Indian War drew him into conflict that would divide two great nations into a bitter, bloody war. His experience created incredible growth in him, and his wisdom expanded and transcended all he had know before. He became a new man amd a leader. In time he would speak of the future, and knew this would be a war that could only be the beginning of another greater war, and more bloodshed upon his fertile vally know as the Mohawk Valley. This inspiring story will transport you back to the colonial days of frontier conflict, an international scramble for the possession of new and valuable lands, and the history of a people caught in the middle, knowing they must turn to the Keepr of the Waters to survive.
