From the cover: Indian Peter is the remarkable story of Peter Williamson, who in 1740 was snatched from an Aberdeen quayside and transported to the burgeoning American colonies to be sold into slavery. He was fortunate to be bought by a humane man who left him money when he died, enabling Peter to buy his own farm after marrying. In 1754, during what became known as the French and Indian War, Peter's farm was attacked and he was captured by the Indians, who forced him to leave his wife and travel with them as a slave. After escaping, he had some sympathy for the Indians and gave evidence in their favour but that did not prevent him joining the British Army to fight the French and their Indian allies. His regiment eventually surrendered and he was taken to Canada as a prisoner of war. Eventually the POWs were exchanged for French prisoners and Williamson found himself free. He made his way back to Scotland and tracked down the men who were behind the slave trade. He accused them publicly and took them to court in a landmark case that exposed the scandal of slave trading. Indian Peter is a true-life adventure of abduction, war and courtroom drama. It is an inspiring tale of courage, fortitude
