Primitive Passions

By John M Cahill

When Sean O'Cathail deserted in New York Harbor in 1681, it was not to become a boschloper. He jumped ship to save his own skin. Getting into the fur trading business was just where he landed. As an Irish refuge hiding out in a Dutch colony now controlled by the English, Sean found he had a knack diplomacy as he negotiated between the colonists and their Iroquois neighbors. This skill also helped with his love life, between courting a servant girl in town, while sleeping with an Indian lass when in the wilderness.
As the French and their Indian allies encroach ever deeper into Dutch-Englis territory, Sean's diplomatic skills will be put to the test. Then, he learns that more than a few pelts are at stake!
