Duncan Crosbie, a veteran of the American revolution, leads 300 French emigres in a wagon train from Alexandria, Virginia to their new home in the wilds of Ohio...a quest for freedom that becomes a harrowing struggle for their lives. This is the fiercely exciting story of how two men led a wagon train of French aristocrats and their women through hundreds of miles of hostile wilderness to a Promised Land deep in the uncharted Ohio country. It is a story of courage and high adventure based on a strange and little known chapter in the history of the American frontier.\"The historical background is woven into the story with care, lending realism to the action.
