From cultivated Britain to the untamed
American Colonies:
A disorderly Englishman becomes a refined American landowner
In 1740, 22-year-old Giles Harley, Oxford college dropout and son of a
wealthy English nobleman, is dispatched to the province of Georgia to
create a plantation to further his family's fortunes. Along the way, Giles
encounters an intriguing and sometimes dangerous cast of characters
questionable investors, rugged explorers, friendly and not-so-much
Na-tive Americans, women of repute and disrepute, African slaves and more.
Along with chronicling Gile's often-bumpy journey to maturity,
PLANTATION weaves a vast and detailed tapestry of a young country
just beginning to find its voice. From the opulent streets of Philadelphia
and its subsequently shocking poverty and inhumane treatment of in-
bound Africans to the perilous journey to Georgia to the ongoing battles
and uneasy treaties between natives and settlers, Ian Nairnsey creates a
meticulously researched portrayal as Giles evolves from a careless, callow
young rake to a thoughtful, responsible land owner and loving husband.
PLANTATION itself is a labor of love and the first of a trilogy.
The second, AN OASIS IN THE DESERT, continues the story, while the
third, A SUCCESSFUL CRUSADE, concludes the Harley family saga.
