Set against the background of the Swedish Colonization along the Delaware River and near the Algonkin Woods-People Tribes along that river and beyond their mountains - a time when ambitious men and women entered the New World and it's dangers armed only with Bibles - a Colonial Puritan from Plimouth -in 1650 - attempts to start his life anew as he runs afoul of the English Army, chases a murderer, crosses the Appalachian Mountains to get furs, supplies illegal muskets and flintlocks to the Clans of natives there, becomes involved in a frontier war between the Iroquois and Sioux, locates the woman of his hopes, but finds his life is always the same. Here hangs a story of a lingering love for a dead wife and the relationships with women a man enjoys while he pursues riches in the fur-trade and battles the People Of The Canoe for furs, and a dedicated killer for his life.
