Aprašymas

The pages herein chronicle the life of a young boy whose parents were brutally murdered by the Indians in what is present day British Columbia and northern Montana. Rescued by a Jesuit Priest from a life of child enslavement, the boy grows into manhood among the most adverse of conditions as he strives to make a living on the dangerous waterfront docks of early Fort Vancouver. With few friends in this world, and with a skeptical, withdrawn outlook on life, he is liberated from the waterfront by two English gentlemen who hire him as a translator of the Tahatna-Blackfoot language. They journey through the British Canadian region and into the French Territory just a few years after the Spanish region of Mexico awarded the territory to France, and in turn, France sold the region to the United States of America in the Louisiana Purchase. It is a raw and dangerous land, yet they are on a mission of great importance, and are compelled to venture onward, regardless of the hidden dangers which might lie ahead.
