The first in a planned series of books, Sworn for Mackinaw begins in
pre-war Detroit with business and family man Oliver Williams and his
brother-in-law, Captain William Lee. Both men stake their futures on
a new venture: the fast sailing sloop Friends Good Will. When war
erupts it causes tension between friends, strains on blood bonds,
and the unforeseen peril of carrying a secret cargo that may change
the entire course of history.
Quotes:
-Sworn for Mackinaw is a dramatic tale told with a seaman's voice that is clear and
strong. James Spurr writes with the confidence of one who knows first hand what it
means to make landfall after a hard passage.
-Gordon Laco, Historian and Lead Technical Advisor on Russell Crowe's film Master
and Commander, the Far Side of the World.
-James Spurr gives flesh, sinew and blood to the bare bones historical facts of a little
known period of naval warfare on the North American Great Lakes. His attention to detail
and knowledge of the larger context of world events will delight history buffs. His lively
descriptions of action and adventure will grab lovers of stories from the days of fighting
sail. His sensitive rendering of the relationship between the characters will appeal to the
hearts of all. Readers may put the book down, but they will carry Oliver and Mary, William
and Be-mo-se with them wherever they go.
-Fred Neuschel, Vice President and Chairperson for Research and Publication for the
Association for Great Lakes Maritime History.
