This novel tells of the courageous English Provincials who defied Louis XV's mighty empire an sent pitiful little army to besiege the great fortress at Louisburg. A story of human passions and frailties, it tells of Bartholomey Mayhew's life-sustaining dream to turn his tiny cluster of cabins and stony fields into a t thriving seaport; of Megan Mayhew' gallant efforts to tame this rockbound country; of Monek and Arthur Mayhew, who had shed their fair skin an English names to roam the forests with the Indians; of Grotius Martin, the mysterious stranger living on the outskirts of the Mayhew settlement; and of Emlyn Forester, the wild, lovely child who-- raised among the Indians -- was suddenly thrust into the false calm of the Mayhew home. A panorama of New England fighting the first of the bloody French and Indian wars.''
