Based on the life of a real person, this is a work of historical fiction. Alexander Dromgoole fought in militias before and after the Revolutionary War as well as serving in the War of the Rebellion itself. He was a landowner in Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky and yet chose to spend much of his time living among and trading with the Cherokee. The young American government used him as an ambassador and translator to help with Indian affairs as he was held in high regard by many of the chiefs and headmen, as well as many important men in government. He had multiple wives and children. You could say he truly lived a double life.
I've chosen to have him chronicle the events of his life through fictional letters he's written in a period of more than fifty years to his oldest brother who disappeared. In the last year of his life, we find him ill and being boarded out by the Committee for the Poor as he can no longer function at the poor house. We learn his story as he revisits his lifetime through the letters read aloud by a young orphan boy. Unexpectedly, bonds are formed as each member of the household is effected and changed., coming to terms with their own ghosts of the past.
A tale of adventure, romance, betrayal, murder, survival, regret and forgiveness. Historical fiction based on a true story.
