The Westward Sagas tell the stories of the lives of Scots-Irish families struggling to find happiness on the new frontier. Spring House, the first book of the series, begins in North Carolina in 1762 and paints a vivid picture of colonial life in the backwoods of the North State. Adam Mitchell fought to protect his family and save his farm, but his home was destroyed by British troops in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, and his corn fields were turned into fields of death.

The story is told by Adam Mitchell's descendant, David Bowles, who grew up fascinated by the stories his parents, aunts, and uncles told. His scrupulous research ensures historical accuracy, and the story-telling talents he inherited from his Mitchell ancestors make the stories exciting and entertaining for his readers.
