Publisher's Synopsis
An Indian chief wants his scalp, a ruthless Spanish Captain wants his hide, but Erastus Buck survives them both to lead his family out of one wilderness into another north up the California coast to a better life only to find marauding Mexican soldiers, gun-happy mercenaries and an unusual tribe of grotesque, blood-thirsty Indians. Ride along as Erastus reflects, in his own words, the lives of six generations of the Buck Family and their fight to survive in the untamed Pacific Northwest spanning one-hundred years until his personal circle of life leads him to an old friend and ultimate peace.
