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.
