The year is 1774. Storm clouds are brewing over the Colonies. New
England and the British military are at each other's throat, the
result of unfair taxation on the Colonies, yet deemed reasonable by
the Crown for the price of protection. Imagine if you can who you
might encounter on the streets of Philadelphia. Many delegates were
together at the Continental Congress trying desperately to come up
with solutions to appease their King. Further west imagine the
frontier and the expansive wilderness, untamed and wild. Men had
lived there for centuries as the native people or human beings as
they called themselves, yet can you imagine seeing things through
their eyes? Game was plentiful and the land pure because those
dwelling there appreciated what they had and cherished their
existence. During the American Revolution the inhabitants of the
region were fully engaged, yet the colonists had mixed loyalties;
some were dissatisfied with the British government and their
'Intolerable Acts', others were loyal to the Crown and would defend
the King's honor at any cost. In addition, native people of many
tribes found themselves fighting each other. This is the story of
the Taylor family who lived on the western frontier of
Pennsylvania, also in Philadelphia and New England. They, along
with a host of friends and business associates, unite for the cause
of liberty and freedom. Their loyalties will be tried and tested at
every turn with the shifting tides of war. Seen through the eyes of
Joshua Taylor, an adventurous young man and his father Ethan, a
veteran of the French and Indian War, their journey begins with
political change and unrest sweeping the land. As the story unfolds
you will witness patriotism, love, loyalty, courage, betrayal and
tragedy. Follow them on this epic adventure as their way of life
changes forever with the coming of the American Revolution. Volume
