This book is based on historical facts along with fiction and is about the Clark family in Virginia. The story begins in 1773 and follows several of the Clark sons; one through the French and Indian war, another at Valley Forge and another as a prisoner on an British prison ship off the coast of New Jersey. The most well known son is George Rogers Clark who along with Merriwether Lewis explored the American West to the Pacific. Anyone who enjoys historical/fiction will like this book. It is 879 pages long but keeps the reader interested from beginning to end.

This is an historical novel, written about the Clark family, as in Lewis and Clark, the famous American explorers. The story recreates the warmth of this strong family.
