Birthright : the true story that inspired Kidnapped

Ekirch, A. Roger 1950- (Author). Stevenson, Robert Louis, 1850-1894 Kidnapped. (Added Author).

Summary: Richly evoking the volatile world of Georgian Ireland, this recounts the saga of James Annesley, the presumptive heir of five aristocratic titles and scion of the mighty house of Annesley. Kidnapped at twelve years of age by his uncle, James was shipped from Dublin to America in 1728 as an indentured servant. He finally managed to escape after thirteen years, returning to Ireland to bring his nemesis, the Earl of Anglesea, to justice in one of the epic trials of the century.
