Description
With the end of the colonies' fight for independence begins a new and even more glorious battle to build a new nation. It is an epoch ripe with the passion that only a country in its springtime can inflame, and two young heirs to a family dynasty dare to confront without fear the barbarity of the West — the Indian resistance, cruel townships, death...
Here is a panorama of magnificent action, peopled by some of the bravest characters of an age. When Abraham Kent falls in love with his stepsister, he sets in motion a fate that will drive a generation westward — until Amanda, a girl-child with the heart of a woman, seeks the new frontier — this land's greatest opportunity and most awesome dread.
