Publisher's Synopsis
A compelling historical novel ... ... about early pioneers scratching out a settlement on the shores of the fearsome Lake Erie. Events of Captain Ebenezer Stark's all too short life include the nation-shaping War of 1812, ferocious Great Lakes storms, his gripping involvement in the Underground Railroad, the near loss of a beloved wife, and an attack by a renegade French trapper. American history is cleverly woven into this novel about the Connecticut Western Reserve, a story based on the life of the author's great, great, great grandfather.
