    "A First Dragoon" is Jacbous Knol's award-winning historical fiction book about our ancestors Jannes van Wijk and Janke Tjittes Smit. The book is written in the Frysk / Frisian language. (Jannes' son Tjitte's daughter Marie married Klaas Jacobus Knol: they were the grandparents of Jacobus Knol, the author of the book.)
