Historical
Eighteen years have passed since Sam Morgan came West from
Pennsylvania and learned the perilous business of trapping
in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Now, in 1840, he
seems to face a bleak future. The fur trade has played out
and he must find other means of making a living. Sam
decides to return to California with his daughter Esperanza
and start a new life. The great golden land represents a
bitter memory — his beloved Crow Indian wife Meadowlark died
there in childbirth — but friends convince him that his
destiny lies on the Pacific shore. Meadowlark’s uncle, Flat
Dog, his family, and Hannibal MacKye, the half-Delaware
mountain man, join Sam and Esperanza for the journey west,
where they hope to trade for a herd of Appaloosa horses to
sell at a profit in California. At Fort Hall on the Oregon
Trail, Sam and his people encounter a terrified woman, Lei
Palua, who has escaped the clutches of a psychopath called
Kanaka Boy, whose gang of killers and rapists has been
terrifying Indian villages in the Northwest. Sam Morgan and
his people take Lei Palua under their wing unaware that her
one-time lover and now bloodthirsty nemesis dogs her trail,
vowing to kill her and all who stand in his way.
