Thousands of men and a few women moved into the far western lands
at the edge of the Great Lakes in the early eighteenth century.
This is a tale of the time: an era marked by political intrigue,
commercial exploitation, emerging technology, flourishing
eroticism, and pursuit of power. The French had been on the lakes
for a hundred and fifty years and the Dutch aristocrats still
controlled the political power of the state. But a new world order
emerged on the shores of the lakes. Men enjoyed many options, but
women's options were limited by the law and customs.
Some women, however, achieved their aspirations within the
sporting clubs that appeared in the late 17th century and
flourished before being banned in 1844. These were the men and
women who created the commerce, built the cities, and fostered the
lifestyle that became America.
