Magnificently eloquent imagery and amazing history woven within the life and love of the Prescotts on the nineteenth-century American frontier. A story of triumph, gallantry, and patriotism, in the quest for individual freedom. It was a time when the love of a country brought within your heart the same emotions as the sight of a lover, a time when men and women alike were willing to risk all in the pursuit of freedom from a life lived under oppression and government to blaze a new world in a country that offered them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The story is filled with the richness of life and love, of remarkable characters and triumphant souls. It is both lyrical and informative.
