Indentured

Two Scottish sisters living in Ulster decided that they would send their boys to the colonies. It looked like the constant unrest in both Scotland and Ireland would never end. They chose to indenture their sons to a doctor in Virginia territory who had advertised for sons for his barren wife. This is a story of adaptation, assimilation, and absorption into native culture and the survival of a family legacy from 1532 to the present. Retired living in Decatur, Alabama. Write as if it were a job, second shift. Few distractions late at night, around the witching hour it is quiet. Driving I saw a lot I'd rather unsee and a lot more I'm glad I saw, Highway 30 through Wyoming at the 66MM through to McCammon, Idaho, littered with history. Part of the old Oregon Trail, unmarred history like emigrant burial ground where fever took an entire wagon train and Wagon Box burial ground where a family was killed by Indians after their horses 'ran away'. Lava Hot Springs thermal springs and stream. And Fish Kill Summit where I put my hand in a cloud one winter day.
