canvas, with the feel of my first husbandâ€s kiss on my lips.  PART
1: IN MEDIAS RES  Itâ€s October of 1770, and the Frasers of
Fraserâ€s Ridge have come to a great Gathering on Mount Helicon (now
known as Grandfather Mountain). In the morning, Claire wakes in a tent
beside her husband, Jamie, from a dream of her first husband, Frank.
Itâ€s her daughter Briannaâ€s wedding day, and as Claire admits to
herself, what could be more natural than that both her daughterâ€s
fathers should be there?  Briannaâ€s wedding to Roger MacKenzie is
not the only notable occurrence of the day. Claire has barely got her
stockings on before a company of Highland soldiers, sent by the governor
of the colony, William Tryon, is drawn up by the creek to issue a
proclamation from the governor, demanding the surrender of persons known
to have taken part in the Hillsborough riots—some of whom are in fact
at the Gathering. Â Thus begins a Very Long Day, during which all of
the events and story lines that will be carried on through the book
begin:  1. Brianna and Rogerâ€s relationship. They love each other
madly and want nothing more than to be married and together forever.
But. Brianna is hesitant about having more children; she doesnâ€t know
for sure who her son Jemmyâ€s father is—it could be Roger, but
sheâ€s terribly afraid that it might be Stephen Bonnet, the pirate who
raped her. Roger has claimed Jemmy as his own—but he desperately wants
another child, one he knows is his. Orphaned in infancy, heâ€s been
alone in the world for a long time.  Briannaâ€s hesitation is
twofold: Sheâ€s a young woman; Jemmy would be self-sufficient in
fifteen years; she could at that point try to return to the future, to
the twentieth-century world that is hers by right. But not if she has
more children, who would anchor her to the past. Also, childbirth is
dangerous; one of the women at the Gathering has kindly given her some
embroidery silk—with which to adorn her shroud, which by tradition she
should begin making the day after the wedding. “That way, Iâ€ll have
it woven and embroidered by the time I die in childbirth. And if Iâ€m a
fast worker, Iâ€ll have time to make one for you, too—otherwise, your
next wife will have to finish it!―  But how can she deny Roger what
she knows he wants so badly?  2. Jamieâ€s relationship with Governor
Tryon, which is delicate to begin with. The governor has given Jamie a
large grant of land, on condition that he people it with settlers. One
of Jamieâ€s reasons for attending the Gathering is to recruit suitable
immigrants from Scotland to come and homestead on his land—heâ€s
looking particularly for ex-Jacobite prisoners, especially men who were
imprisoned with him at Ardsmuir after Culloden and who may have survived
transportation. Â The delicate bit is that Jamie is a Catholic and thus
not allowed to own land grants under English law. Governor Tryon knows
this but has chosen to look the other way, for the sake of getting the
backcountry—always a volatile trouble spot, full of discontented
hunters, trappers, and small farmers, all pushing against the Indian
Treaty Line and none of them paying taxes regularly—settled and
stabilized.  However, the unspoken fact of Jamieâ€s Catholicism hangs
over their dealings, and when Archie Hayes, commander of the company of
Highland soldiers, presents Jamie with a letter from Tryon, appointing
him colonel of militia and ordering him to collect “so many Men as you
Judge suitable to serve in a Regiment of Militia, and make Report to me
as soon as possible of the Number of Volunteers that are willing to turn
out in the Service of their King and Country, when called upon, and also
what Number of effective Men belong to your Regiment who can be ordered
out in case of an Emergency, and in case any further Violence should be
attempted to be committed by the Insurgents,― Jamie has no good way to
refuse. As he tells Claire, “I must. Tryonâ€s got my ballocks in his
hand, and Iâ€m no inclined to see whether heâ€ll squeeze.― Â
Tryonâ€s concern with assembling a militia is the “Insurgents―—the
Regulation, a growing movement of disaffect
