Salute to Adventurers

Salute to Adventurers is a 1915 historical adventure novel by the Scottish author John Buchan. Largely set among the newly-settled Virginia plantations of the late 17th century, the novel includes several historical characters and events, including the wild and radical preaching of John Gibb, founder of the Sweet Singers sect. Andrew Garvald loses his way in the rain and seeks directions at a remote mansion where he hears Elspeth Blair, a girl of about 16, singing a stirring song.
