Caleb Landers travels into the Rocky Mountains and then to Alta
California. The violence that was commonplace in this period of
history is brought to life by Caleb and Maria as they not only
fight Indians and renegade whites, but also the elements while
crossing the frontier. Mexico gained its independence from Spain in
1821. The lands from Texas to California first belonged to Mexico,
then to Texas. Mexico owned the territory which stretched from
Santa Fe to the 42nd parallel to the Sierra Nevada
Mountains-including what is now Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma,
and Colorado. It was a vast wasteland occupied by savage Indians
and occasionally American or French-Canadian fur trappers who were
frequently wilder than the savages. The plight of women in those
early days was much different than that of today's liberated women;
yet their intelligence, their needs, and their ambitions were the
same. As Maria matures and becomes sexually involved with Caleb and
other lovers, her confusion is compounded by her sexuality, as well
as the circumstances surrounding the women of that period.
