Indian country - the wide open prairie of frontier Illinois - and the war torn fields of the Civil War are settings for this powerful epic of 19th Century America. From half a worl away, Dr. Rob J. Cole comes to the forbidding Great Plains to pursue his medical destiny.
Ahead of him are the terrible trials of a white man standing alone in a hostile territory... and acts of such unspeakable violence he will never forget them. Yet Rob J. goes on to find love with a passionate pioneer wife.... and to become one family with her strong son, who fights valiantly for the South in the Civil War. And when Rob & Sarah's own son, Shaman, grows to manhood, he too becomes heir to the proud tradition of medicine, battling different but equally staggering odds. Sweeping across decades of change and conflict, growth and loss, this saga brims with medical authenticity and the tumult of America in the making.
