McKenzie and the King’s Mercy

By Gordon McLeish

In 1746, Highland lad Donald McKenzie draws the King’s mercy in a lottery—and mercy means seven years of bonded labour in the tobacco fields of Virginia. His son Alasdair is born free, with a gift for forging handwriting and finding trouble. A small kindness to a young Watkin Tench follows him across an ocean, all the way to Botany Bay.
