He battered an untamed country and its native Indians into resentful submission; and when this book opens he stands, in his fabulous plantation house - lusty, imprious, and unbending. To this empire carved out of wilderness by one man's roaring determination, comes Old Clay's orphaned grandson. Young Clay brings with him a will of his own, and the inevitable clash flames up over treatment of the Indians, America's historic "minority". To Old Clay the law is a rifle in hand; to the boy the Indians become friends, tutors in woodcraft; and the young Seminole, Asseola, becomes one of the great friends of his life. As the boy becomes man, however, the brooding clouds of bloody uprisings hang over the land. Young Clay leaves the plantation for a time, to savor the gay life of ancient St. Augustine, where he meets that town wit and dandy, Jamie Beulow, and most exciting of all, the sultry, wanton, and utterly desirable Claire, whose charms can only temporarily submerge his enduring love for the unforgettable Sue Barton. From these rich veins of story lode, Robert Wilder draws forth a novel of violence and passion, romance and such authentic history as only a writer who has lived in and studied Flordia could produce.
