Description: While the United States was still a new nation, some cities had already grown into bustling, overcrowded metropolises gripped by corruption. There a young man had little chance of ever realizing the great American Dream of liberty. It took immense courage for men like Nathaniel King to venture into the vast territories west of the Mississippi River. Although they had to fight an endless battle against savage Indians, wild beast, and the hostile elements, the freedom that these bold adventures won in the unexplored region was worth the struggle. But when an old sweetheart from New York came searching for him, King learned that sometimes the deadliest foe could appear to be a trusted friend. And if he wasn't careful, the life he had worked so hard to build might be stolen from him and traded away for a few pieces of gold.
