Duty's Dad

"Watson," he said without preamble, "I want you to print up a poster offering a reward for the apprehension of Mr. William Lyon Mackenzie and his rebel leaders - one thousand pounds for Mackenzie and five hundred pounds for the others!" Richard was stunned by the size of the rewards. That sort of money was a life-long pension that would keep any family in comfort. He flashed back to his youth in Limerick when similar rewards for rebels or their weapons were shouted out in the parade square of Limerick Castle. He recalled the silent response, hundreds strong, from his neighbours facing the regiment and its gold-braided Colonel. He remembered that not one person claimed the reward. Would it be the same here? Would your barn ever be safe if you turned in any one of them? Duty's Dad is a story of bravery, loss, life, and love. It accompanies the book, Duty's Son, by K.G. Watson.
