Publisher's Synopsis
A romance of the wilderness-breakers, filled with strong passion, with the struggle of man against nature and man against man, and with the red blood of a sturdy race. The dominating figure is Henry Alton of Somasco Ranch--a character to awaken compassion and profound admiration. A romance envelops the girl who crossed unwillingly Alton's path and found her aristocratic standards of honor put to shame before the nice code of the rancher.
