Based on historical fact, this book is the remarkable story of a plot by Southern landholders to bring slavery to California prior to the Civil War. Wonderfully vivid characters--including a rugged frontiersman, a beguiling New Orleans woman, and a pampered son of a wealthy Virginia merchant--do their part to thwart this plot during a decisive moment in our nation's history.
