Description:The White SlaveThe ‘White Slave’ is an action and adventure-packed story of abduction, war, revenge and courtroom drama. It is an inspiring true story of courage, fortitude and one man’s determination to survive against seemingly insurmountable odds and his fight to expose the Scottish vial trade of child abduction and white slavery.This fiction novel is based on the remarkable true story of Peter Williamson (Indian Peter), a Scottish man, who in 1743, at the age of 13, was kidnapped from an Aberdeen quayside and transported to the British American Colonies to be sold into indentured servitude (white slavery). He was one of 69 children who fell into the hands of a corrupt Aberdeen cartel of magistrates, merchants and ships masters. After surviving a shipwreck when his slave ship, the 'Planter,' floundered on a sandbank in a storm off New Jersey, Peter was taken to Pennsylvania on a merchant brig. He was sold as an Indentured Servant to a humane Scottish man who later released Peter from his indentureship before he died. Peter later married the daughter of a wealthy landowner and was gifted a farm. In 1754, during the British French-Indian Colonial Wars, Peter’s farm was attacked and burned by Lenape Indians and his wife was brutally murdered. He was captured by the Indians, who tortured him and forced him to travel with them as a slave.After escaping, he joined the British Army to fight the French and their savage Red Indian allies and avenged the murder of his wife by killing the Lenape Indian Chief who had earlier abducted and tortured him. At the later battle of Oswego, his regiment was forced to surrender to the French, and he was taken to Canada as a prisoner of war. He was taken to England on a French ship and exchanged for French prisoners of war. After being freed, he made his way back to Aberdeen, Scotland and tracked down the men responsible for his initial abduction. He took them to court in a landmark case, accusing them publicly, exposing the child abduction scandal of white Scottish slave trading.Peter settled in Edinburgh and adopted the byname ‘Indian Peter’ and became a successful coffee shop owner, publican, writer, publisher and entrepreneur. He developed Edinburgh’s first Penny Post system and launched a weekly magazine, and shamelessly exploited his fame as an American Indian fighter for profit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
