The Tinsmith
A novel by Tim Bowling
September 17, 1862. Anson Baird, an assistant surgeon in the Union Army, is on the front line of what will come to be known as the bloodiest single-day battle in American history-the Battle of Antietam. As this violent and deadly Civil War battle rages on, Anson finds himself fighting alongside a slave named John. Together, the two men survive, and, in a gesture of comradeship, Anson assigns John a new identity as "William Sullivan Dare"; in the hope that it will free him. Twenty years later on the Fraser River in British Columbia, Anson and William are now fighting a new battle-this time against the unscrupulous business ethics of the province's pioneer salmon canners. When William disappears under mysterious circumstances, Anson is left to wonder what has become of him. Part mystery, part war story, The Tinsmith is a gripping tale of morality and loyalty set against two diverse and dramatic backdrops.
