Bedford-Jones is a historical novel set in the early 18th century. The story follows Harry Crawford, a character caught in the tumult of the colonial struggles in North America, as he navigates encounters with pirates, indigenous peoples, and the intrigue surrounding a mystical artifact called the Star of Dreams. The novel blends elements of adventure and exploration against the backdrop of historical events, weaving a tale of freedom and self-discovery. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Crawford, who is isolated in a remote location, reflecting on his loneliness and the chaotic times he lives in. As he prepares for a meager meal, he is unexpectedly confronted by a Micmac Indian bearing a treacherous gift, leading to chaos as pirates arrive, and Crawford learns about their intentions. The dialogue reveals Crawford’s complex personality—a man of principles who does not align himself easily with either side of the ongoing conflicts. This rich introduction sets the stage for his subsequent adventures, hinting at a blend of high-stakes action, moral dilemmas, and the pursuit of personal freedom against a stark wilderness landscape.
