Dake Bradford was a blazing American patriot who had taken a stand against the British on the Greens of Lexington. He had joined up with the colonial farmers and shopkeepers to form an army under the command of the newly appointed commander in chief, George Washington.

Those fiery loyalties break out into open conflict when the Bradfords and Gordons find themselves on opposing sides at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
During the first year of the Revolution, the conflict between Dake and Clive widens as both men court the affections of Jeanne Corbeau, the beautiful daughter of a French mountain man. Will the long, dangerous journey to Fort Ticonderoga decide their futures?« less
