A Scotsman's odyssey in early America. Robert Chesney arrives on the eve of the Revolution. He participates in the invasion of the 15th Colony, Quebec, in the course of which two fortuitous events occur: his unit ambushes a convoy of British gold and he meets an Indian maiden. She becomes his wife and when the war ends they head West, she to run their business and raise their children, he to advance the frontier. By the author of This Savage Race.
