The narrative follows a Scottish protagonist fleeing potential treason charges, who finds success as a shopkeeper in New York and nearby towns. This fictional autobiography not only reflects on the optimism surrounding Scottish emigration but also connects Todd's experiences to historical events in New York and John Galt's social entrepreneurship in Canada. The edition includes contextual insights, notes, and maps, highlighting Galt's characterisation techniques and his contemporary popularity, while engaging with themes of emigration and political reform in Britain.
