Memories Trail, Part One

For Elizabeth Kincaid, her innocence as well as her ignorance of frontier ways spell danger when she is captured by a band of savages and taken into the wilds of the Ohio Territory. Except one of those savages, the leader named Tecumseh, is not the heathen she though he was, especially wehn she realizes they share a common gift, visions of things to come.

Tecumseh asked Elizabeth for a vision, and after several days pass, she tells him of a man who will come to their village in friendship. No one is more surprised than Elizabeth when the man appears with the morning sun just as she envisioned.

But evil lurks even in the most tranquil of settings and Tecumseh's brother accuses 'the man of her vision' Will Douglas, of being the devil. To defend his honor and hers, Will must run the gauntlet. His life or death will decide her own.

Governor Harrison of the Indiana Territory intends to expand the frontier. The Shawnee and other Indian tribes are to give up their land or suffer the consequences. The Shawnee, Tecumseh's tribe, have already given all they can. Tecumseh wishes for a united Indian Nation where they can live just as their ancestors had for generations. The British in Detroit have long guns and cannon aimed at the Americans. It is only a matter of time before war breaks out.

Tecumseh tells Elizabeth he sees Will's death as easily as he sees his own. Despite her pleas, Will picks up his war club to defend the people he loves. His decision could well destroy them both.
