Wild horizon — Francis Van Wyck Mason

The time is the bleak September of 1779. The place is frontier America. The story is fierce and dramatic, a saga of love, violence and war. The people are memorable: legendary Tom Spencer who stands six-feet-nine in his shoe pacs… Rough-and-ready Squire Valentine and his comely twin daughters, Choice and Rosemary…and foremost among them all, the mysterious figure of young Dr. Samuel Mason -- who is either their savior or their betrayers.
