Description
The Nearly Man is a remarkable true story of one man's incredible life, spanning over six decades and taking him from rural Scotland to the west coast of Canada. Francis Metcalfe's journey is marked by adventure, danger, and narrow escapes, as he becomes embroiled in some of the lesser-known conflicts of the 20th century.
From his associations with famous figures to his brushes with death, Metcalfe's story is one of heroism, cunning, and resilience. He recounts his flight from justice, his subsequent trial, imprisonment, and release, as well as his second escape from the police and his capture. With remarkable candour, he shares the astounding tale of his life on the run.
This book tells not only of Metcalfe's own exploits but also of how they impacted those around him. A true story of adventure, danger, and survival, The Nearly Man is a gripping account that sheds new light on a fascinating period in history.
