Six months have passed since Gus McIntyre and his friends, Katie and Lizzie Sanders, fled San Angela TX and the Ku Klux Klan. As they make their way back to civilization and the Circle H Ranch, their progress is slowed by weather and the weight of the treasure that accompanies them. Along the trail, Gus relates the amazing tale of his great-great grandfather, James Oliver McIntyre, immigrated from Scotland to the New World in the 18th century. McIntyre is befriended by Daniel Boone, rescues and marries a woman held captive by Cherokee Indians and ventures across the mountains to settle the untamed territories of Kentucky and the Ohio Valley. This is the fourth installment of the Gus McIntyre Adventures and deals with more adult themes. It recounts the bravery and determination required by our forefathers as they ventured into the often-hostile lands north and west of the original thirteen colonies.
