Follow the glorious journey of Yorkshireman Tom Ellis as he escapes London’s debtors’ prison in 1733 and joins the expedition to start a new colony in America. In Yamacraw Bluff, Tom’s adventures take him halfway across the world as he uncovers a plot to undermine the founding of Savannah, Georgia.
Pittaway brings to life the remarkable story of the founding of Savannah in a fresh and compelling way. The tale begins in London in the 1730s. Tom Ellis is trapped in debt and heading for the Fleet, a notorious debtors’ prison. By happenstance, Tom is sucked into a fight, defending a drunken aristocrat, and his life is changed forever. Languishing in prison, he is rescued by Oglethorpe and pulled into a fantastical scheme to start a new colony in America. Tom Ellis travels across the Atlantic with the first founders and fights to protect the colony from a dramatic scheme to undermine it. Yamacraw Bluff is a fully panoramic historical novel capturing the sights, scenes, and experiences of the founders while telling the untold story of loss, internecine conflict, and revenge.
