A legend. A warrior. A hero. A classic American epic. Two centuries ago, with the support of the young Revolutionary government, George Rogers Clark led a small but fierce army west from Virginia to conquer all the territory between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

He fell in love with the woman of his dreams, the beautiful Spanish maiden Teresa de Leyba. And George Rogers Clark was, in the end, bitterly betrayed by the same government he had so nobly served.

This is not the same Clark as in "Lewis and Clark". William Clark, of the famed 'Lewis and Clark Expedition', was the youngest brother of the subject of this novel, George Rogers Clark.
