A tale of settling Missouri in 1805, when it was wilderness. The main characters include the daughter and mistress to an abusive man and two river traders. Lowlife rivermen, murders, thieves, a French-Indian scout, renegade Indians, and slaves make up some of other characters.

We get a tour of the Missouri wilderness of 1805 around and north of St. Louis, then just a small town.

This is an exciting, well-written tale.
