"Never Unready" by Sam Morton

A new release (hardback) by Sam Morton, author of Where The Rivers Run North

Stories of the American Frontier:

The Clan Johnston, Scottish Presbyterians that settled in the back reaches of Appalachia. Their fighting mettle hardened them to survive a global war between the British and French and the bloody slaughter of Pontiac’s rebellion. Living their clan motto, 'nunquam non paratus', or ‘never unready’ —which dates back to fights with the Romans and defined them as a people.

This is the story of Martha and Alexander Johnston and the wilderness war waged across the Johnston’s home on Blue Mountain in Pennsylvania called Annandale. Their story intertwines of the worst British military disaster of the 17th century with a unified tribal uprising that fell close to a dozen frontier forts from Detroit to eastern Pennsylvania in a matter of minutes. Never Unready is the second volume on the Clan Johnston following the The Winged Spur.
